Cancers Cured I 

OR TVO CHARGE. 

DR. KXNGSLEY, 

OIF 1 JESLOIWCIE, 1ST. Y., 

Has discovered a perfect cure for Cancers without the use of the knife Thousands of 

cases cured can testify to the efficacy of this plan of treatment. This preparation -will 
destroy the specific nature of most Cancers in from ten to sixty minutes. Even in those 
large Cancerous affections of the breast, from which so many females die annually, my 
specific is equally as effectual as in those smaller surface Cancers. Ninety-nine out of a 
hundred of all those persons who have died from Cancer, could easily have been cured. 
Cancer has "been considered from time immemorial the greatest scourge of the human 
race ; but the time will come when all shall see that if is as remediable as any other dis- 
ease. At the same time remedies are given to purify the blood and fortify the system 
against a renewed attack. In all cases, if the Cancer is not too far advanced, a perfect 
cure is warranted, or no charge. 

"Most persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appearance of 

Cancer, considering it very painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake. 
(causing the death of thousands.) there being but little or no pain until the Cancer is far 
advanced. The only symptoms for months, and in some cases even for years, is occa- 
sionally either a stinging, itching, smarting, burning, creeping or shooting sensation, 
and in some cases not even any of these. Nearly all of those kernels or lumps that occur 
in the female breast, and also those unnatural appearances in the form of crusts or warty 
excrescence, which appear in either sex on the face, lips. nose, eye lids, orany other part 
of the surface 1 , are cancers. Cancer is very easily cured in* its early stage, consequently 
it is of the very greatest importance that all thus afflicted should nave immediate treat- 
ment : as thousands of very valuable lives have been lost from pure neglect, haying been 
misguided by physicians having no knowledge of the disease, who. by calling it Scrofula, 
Erysipelas. Salt Rheum or some other non-terrifying disease, lull this unfortunate class 
in the cradle of ignorance, until upon the very verge of death, when. 1o hide such ignor- 
ance, the physician tells the patient that it has finally turned to Cancer, and cannot lie 
cured. There is no such thing as turning to Cancer. * "Whatever ends in Cancer, began 
in Cancer. Be no longer deceived. If you have the slightest suspicion of trouble, seek 
immediate relief and thereby preserve life. 

Consumption. Bronchitis. Catarrh, Asthma. Heart Disease. Dyspepsia. Liver Com- 
plaint, Fits. St. Vitus 1 Dance, Neuralgia, Scald Head, Piles, all Diseases of the Skin, 
Pimples. Scrofula or King's Evil, Fever Sores, Spinal Diseases. Rheumatism, Gout, 
Dropsy. Diabetes. Kidney Diseases, Gravel, and all Diseases peculiar to Males or Fe- 
males, successfully treat e d . 

Warts. Corns. Bunions. Moles, Wens, Birth-Marks. Tumors &c, removed. Especial 
attention given to the treatment of Crooked Feet. Leus. Arms. Spine, Neck, and all other 
deformities. Cross Eyes straightened, Dare-Lips cured by an entirely new plan of oper- 
ating. Operations for stone in the Bladder, Polypus, Strangulated Hernia, Fistula, or 
the cure of False and Crooked Joints, and all deformities of the Eye Lids. Nose. Lips. 
Neck &c, resulting from Burns or Wounds, performed upon the most scientific princi- 
ples. All Diseases of the Eye and Ear treated with very great success. 

Especial attention given to the treatment of all diseases originating from the errors of 
misguided Youth. 

Patients from a distance, except in Surgical and Cancer cases, by sending a full des- 
criptu n of their symptoms, can have medicines sent by Mail or Express, and be treated 
at home. 

All letters promptly answered, ami medicines ordered, immediately forwarded. 

The Doctor is a graduate with an experience of over fourteen years in the practice of 
medicine, twelve of which have been spent in Rome. 

N. P,.— All persons troubled with Asthma should send for Dr. Kimrsley's ASTHMA 
SPECIFIC, which will relieve any case immediately. 

Semi for DR. K1NCSLEYS AGUE SPECIFIC, which is purely vegetable: and 

never fails to cure.

INTRODUCTION. 



INTRODUCTION, 



In presenting the initial number of the " Gazetteer and Directory 
of Chemung and Schuyler Counties " to the public, the publisher 
desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assist- 
ed in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and with- 
out whose aid it would have been impossible to collect, in the brief 
space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be 
completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of 
the Elmira Gazette, Elmira Advertiser, Horseheads Journal, Schuy- % 
ler County Democrat, Watkins Express and Havana Journal, for 
the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public atten- 
tion to the author's efforts; and to them and the following persons, 
viz : Robert F. Stewart, Clerk of Chemung Co. ; S. C. Taber, Clerk 
of the Board of Supervisors of Chemung Co. ; Mrs. P. A. La France ; 
John G. Copley, School Commissioner Chemung Co. ; Edward 
Kendall, Clerk of Schuyler County; Eugene B. Mapes, Clerk of 
the Board of Supervisors of Schuyler County ; John H. Pope, 
School Commissioner of Schuyler Co. ; and M. Ells, Esq., of Wat- 
kins, for essential aid in furnishing material for the work. Many 
others have kindly volunteered their aid, to all of whom we return 
sincere thanks. 

The following works have also been consulted in its preparation : 
French's admirable "Gazetteer of the State of New York ;" "Hotch- 
kin's History of the Presbyterian Church in Western New York ;" 
"Stone's Life of Brant;" Galatian's "Elmira City Directory;" 



INTRODUCTION. 



" Documentary History of New York ;" " Glen Sketches ;" " Tour- 
ists' Hand Book to the Glen;" "Proceedings of the Board of Su- 
pervisors" of the two Counties, and the "Census Report of 1865." 

That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names 
and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have been 
omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. We can 
only say that we have exercised more than ordinary diligence and 
care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. To 
sach as feel aggrieved inconsequence of error or omission, we beg 
pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as 
had been observed in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and 
which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction. 

It is also suggested that our patrons observe and become familiar 
with the explanations at the commencement of the Directory. 

The Map of the two Counties was engraved with great care by 
Messrs. "Weed, Parsons & Co.," of Albany, and, it is believed, will 
prove a valuable acquisition to the work. The new town of Ash- 
land has been accurately located according to courses and distances 
as specified in Session Laws of the State for 1867. 

The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men 
and firms of both Counties, and also many enterprising and reliable 
dealers in other parts of the State. We most cheerfully commend 
them all to the patronage of those under whose observation these 
pages may come. 

With thanks to friends generally, we leave our work to secure 
the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating 
business public.

Southport.— Judsonville, (p. o.) formerly Pine Woods p. o., is a hamlet near the

Webbs Mills post office is abolished.

GAZETTEER-Scbuyler Cotmty. 

County.— Since our history of the Press of Schuyler County was printed, we have 
received from the proprietor of the Watkins Express, the following notice of that 
paper ; . 

THE WATKINS EXPRESS is the lineal successor to the first paper published in the 
village of Watkins, N. Y., and traces its ancestry from the beg inning as follows : In the 
year 1840, the Chemung Democrat, then published at Hors:heads, was removed to 
Havana, where its publication was continued two years, and in 1842 was again removed 
to "Jefferson," by which name the village of Watkins was then known ; all three ot 
the towns named then being within the bounds of Chemung County. Within a short 
time after the removal of the Democrat to Jefferson, the name was changed to the Denw- 
cratic Citizen, the editor being J. I. Hendry x, now proprietor of the Cooperstown Re- 
publican, who continued in charge of the paper till 1850. In June of that year, W. is. 
Slawson & Co. undertook the publication of the Independent Freeman, which, in ISol, 
was changed to the Jefferson Eagle, succeeded, after a few months, by the Watkins 
Family Visitor. In 1854 the office passed into the hands of S. M. Taylor, Esq., who 
called his paper the Watkins Republican. He was succeeded in the editorial chair by 
M. Ell6, in 1856, the name of the paper remaining tbe same until 1863, when Gee. D. A. 
Bridgman bought the office and changed the name to The Watkins Weekly Union. In 
January 1864, the present proprietor of the paper, L. M. Gano, came into possession of 
the office, and once more changed the name, as well as the potitics of the paper, since 
which time it has been known as The Watkins, Express. In politics the paper is Repub- 
lican ; aiminsr, while advocating the interests and principles of the party, to inculcate 
Bound principles of integrity in all relations of life, and to furnish to its patrons a healthy,

his quests. The hotel is conveniently locat- 
ed for travelers, and we cordially recom- 
mend Mr. H. to the public. His card ap- 
pears on colored leaf, opposite page 154.

Machine Shop, Watkins, N. Y., is un- 
der the proprietorship of John Franklin, 
whose experience in his business is a suffi- 
cient guarantee that all work intrusted to 
his care will be well done. All sorts of ma- 
chinery, mill-gearing, plow castings &c, 
can be procured at snort notice. See card, 
page 234. 

William O. Thayer, manufacturer 
of Doors, Sash and Blinds, Millport, N. Y., 
publishes a card on colored page 137. Mr. 
Thayer has the best facilities for manufac- 
turing Doors, Sash, Blinds and Mouldings, 
of an/ nan in Chemung or Schuyler Coun- 
ty. This factory is located on the best 
water power in this part of the State.— 
Planing and Matching done to order. Cus- 
tomers will find him ever ready to attend 
to their crders, and he warrants all work to 
be done in the most approved style and at 
the shortest notice. Builders and farmers

William B. Souder, House, Sign 
and Ornamental Painter, Watkins, N, Y., 
publishes a card on page 222. We cheerfully 
recommend Mr. Souder to the favorable no- 
tice of the public, as those who have paint- 
ing and paper hanging to do will be glad to 
know of a competent and reliable man. 
Such is the character of Mr. Souder. Give 
him a call. 



E. R. Wheeler Sc Co., Slate 
Roofers and dealers in all kinds of plain 
and ornamental Slates, publish a card on 
colored page 101. Although almost every 
thing has been at one time or another used 
as a roofing material, very few possess all 
the qualities necessary for making a good 
roof. Slate has been used for ages, and is 
universally conceded to have in the highest 
degree ail the requirements for making a 
substantial and handsome roof. It never 
rots, rusts or wears out, and if well laid, 
never needs repairs, lasting as long as the 
solid rock from which it is quarried. It is 
in fact solid stone cut into thin slices, and 
hence not liable to decay like shingles, or 
decompose or wear out like the innumerable 
compositions thrust upon the market, of 
tar, pitch, &c. It is the safest kind of roof, 
for under no circumstances can it be made 
to burn. If a building has a brick or 
metallic cornice and a slate roof, it is abso- 
lutely fire-proof as far as the roof is con- 
cerned. Slate is of different colors and can 
be cut to any desired pattern, and by a 
tasteful arrangement of figures and colors, 
the most pleasing effect is produced and 
the roof made as ornamental as any other 
part of the building. No other kind of 
roof is susceptible of such a high degree of 
ornamentation. To those using rain water 
for domestic purposes a slate roof is in- 
valuable. The water ie not contaminated 
with decaying wood, paint, tar, pitch, or 
anything else. The cisterns do not become 
offensive or filled up with decaying sub- 
stances washed off the roof as where other 
kinds of roof are used, but the water ie 
always pure and clean. The cost of a slate 
roof is but very little above that of good 
shingles, so that if safety and durability 
are to be taken into consideration in choos- 
ing a roof, a slate roof will be found to be 
much cheaper than any other. People 
along the line of railroads, or farmers in 
the country, will find it as much to their 
interest to have a good fire-proof, durable 
and safe roof, as those who dwell in the 
large cities ; for if they are less liable to 
fire, they are also more at its mercy when 
it does occur, not having such ready means 
of extinguishing it. We hope we shall see 
more of this kind of roof, as it is the best, 
cheapest, and most beautiful. 

Henry Ly bolt, Carpenter and Mas- 
ter Builder, also manufacturer of Doors, 
Sash, Blinds &c, publishes a card on page 
210. As a builder and mechanic Mr. L. 
ranks second to no one in Schuyler Coun- 
ty; he has facilities for building, with 
which no hand labor can compete, which 
enables him to carry on jobs at a lower 
rate than is possible for any builder unaid- 
ed by machinery. He employs none but 
first-class workmen and the public may rest 
assured that all work entrusted to his hands 
will be performed with the utmost dispatch. 
From long experience he is able to econo- 
mise time and material and give the best 
of work at moderate prices. Those who 
favor him with their patronage will do 
themselves a favor as well as him. Call on 
him at Havana, N. Y.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



H. B. Holden, Practical Sign Painter 
and Designer, No. 154 Water St., Elmira, 
N. Y., publishes a card on page 162. It is 
with great pleasure that we introduce to 
the public Mr. H. B. Holden, who is pre- 
pared to execute all work in his line of 
painting and designing, entrusted to his 
care, in the most artistic manner. His 
lettering is unsurpassed and his designs 
for banners, curtains and badges, exhibit 
great care, skill and judgment. His Japan 
Tins, Gilding and Scroll Painting are 
models of taste and neatness. His Glass 
Tablet Signs, in gold and silver, are of the 
most beautiful patterns. All in want of 
signs in the city or country, can send their 
orders and have the signs returned by Ex- 
press or delivered at the shop on the most 
reasonable terms. Send in your orders for 
Campaign, Sabbath School or other ban- 
ners, and Holden will give you the services 
of an accomplished artist. 

Mothers, Read This !— So says 
Dr. G. T. Taft & Co., of Seneca Falls. In 
their advertisement on page 20, they desire 
to inform you of the wonderful qualities of 
their " Oriental Syrup," for children. We 
have heard of many cases where this valu- 
able medicine has given great reliet. They 
are also proprietors of " Rosenberger's 
Balm of Gilead Ointment," for old sores, 
ulcers, rheumatism, burns, chilblains, 
piles, &c, and for galls, or wounds on 
horses, it is unsurpassed. 

Chas. Tremain & Co., manufac- 
turers of Rag, Book, News, Tea and Wrap- 
ping Paper, at Manlius, publish a card on 
page 230. Publishers and paper dealers 
will find them fair and honorable men to 
purchase from. In the manufacture of 
book and news, they use only domestic stock, 
which is conceded to be superior to import- 
ed rags. They employ experienced paper 
makers only, and having improved machin- 
ery, they can insure a superior article in 
all cases. We use their paper in the pub- 
lication of our directories. 

Barney Brothers, General Insur- 
ance Agents, No 8 Baldwin St., Elmira, 
N. Y., represent some of the most reliable 
companies in the United States. They 
have had great experience in the business 
and have been distinguished for their fair 
dealing and the promptness with which 
they have paid all losses. Farmers 
will find it for their interest to insure in 
the Farmers' Joint Stock Co., a* risks are 
only taken on farm property and at much 
lower rates than on city property. They 
are the original agents in this County for 
the Hartford Live Stock Co. No man can 
afford to let his stock go uninsured any 
more than his house or his goods. They 
are the only agents in the County doing 
Inland Marine Insurance, representing the 
old Corn Exchange Company. Messrs. 
Barney have an office nicely fitted up in a 
central location, and are prepared to wait 
upon all who may give them a call. See 
card, colored page 187. 



Lunch and Dining Restaurant, 

Erie Railway Depot, Elmira, N. Y., is a 
place that makes glad the heart of the trav- 
eler after a long and tedious journey. Here 
he may obtain a nice warm meal or a cold 
lunch, with tea and coffee, at any time of 
day or night, and only pay for what he 
receives. Mr. Will E. Stagg, Jr., the gen- 
tlemanly proprietor, will take you in and 
say, " be ye warmed and fed," and send you 
on your way rejoicing. Call and see. His 
card appears on page 234. 

The Watkins Express, is pub- 
lished by L. M. Gano, Watkins, N. Y .— 
This journal is so well and favorably known 
to the citizens of Watkins, and the whole 
region adjacent thereto, it seems hardly 
necessary to call their attention to the card 
on page 238. Those who wish for a live 
paper, one that will give them the news 
while it is new, will do well to subscribe 
for the paper. An extensive Job office is 
connected with the establishment, where 
all work will be neatly and promptly exe- 
cuted, in any style required. Advertisers 
will find it a convenient medium for setting 
forth the merits of their goods. Office on 
Washington St., west of the Second Na- 
tional Bank. 

The Schuyler County Democrat 

is published at Watkins, N. Y., by W. H. 
Baldwin, who has been the uroprietor for 
about a year and a half. It is a seven col- 
umn paper, and, under the management of 
the present proprietor, is increasing in all 
the qualities that go to make up a first- 
class family paper. Its circulation is stead- 
ily increasing and business men will find it 
a good medium for advertising. Book and 
Job Printing in all styles and at low rates, 
executed at the Democrat office. Send for 
the paper and have your printing done at 
the same office. See card, page 192. 

The Homestead Hotel, Elmira, 
N. Y., has been opened byC. G. Smith, and 
is the best specimen of an old English Inn 
that can be found in the country. The bed- 
rooms are clean and provided with tasty 
furniture and the whitest of linen. It is a 
hotel adapted for country custom and peo- 
ple of moderate means. The dining room 
is large and the table furnished with the 
most tempting and wholesome viands, The 
bar-room is large and supplied with all 
modern conveniences. The barns and sheds 
are commodious and in fine order. In short 
there is every convenience, in doors and out, 
to make the place a home for the weary trav- 
eler. The proprietor, Mr. Charles G. Smith, 
"can keep a hotel." See card on colored 
page 119. 

George Elmendorf, Flag, Banner, 
House, Sign and Decorative Painter, Elmi- 
ra, N. Y., publishes a card on colored page 
120. As an artist Mr. E. has few equals in 
the county ; his graining is unsurpassed 
by any that we have ever seen, and we are 
confident that all who will call at his rooms 
will be pleased with the specimens of his 
work there exhibited. As a decorative 
painter he has few superiors, and all who 
patronize him will secure the services of a 
first class artist.

MOTHERS! RJKAJD THIS. 

Amvour children restless, irritable, wakeful, feverish ? Are they cutting teeth ? Are 
the gmna red and painful ? Have they diarrhoea ? Have they fits or spasms ? If bo, 

USE THE ORIENTAL SYRUP. 

It is the only Syrup or Cordial, or CHILD MEDICINE in market free from Opium, Mor- 
phine, or Paragoric. These you can't give ; or, at least, you ought not to. They de- 
stroy the functions of the BRAIN ; the child grows pale ; its eyes grow wild ; its flesh 
becomes soft ; it loses its mind ; it becomes an Idiot. Mothers, these are facts ! To be 
convinced, try it. The Oriental Syrup contains NONE of those poisons. It is per- 
fectly harmless. It is soothing— quieting. The child sleeps sweetly, and awakes refresh- 
ed and lively. The teeth penetrate the gums without pain. It is good for aged and ner- 
vous people. TRY IT.

THE BAL1M O^ GILEAD! 

SIR ASHLEY COOPER, in one of his lectures to his class, says:— I have used the 
Balm of Gilead in my practice, in one form or other, for more than forty years : and for 
Old Sores or Ulcers, Eruptions, Rheumatism, Burns, Chilblains, 
Scalds, Piles, Chafes, &c, it surpasses every other known remedy. 

Rosenberger's Balm of Gilead Ointment 

Is composed of Oils and Balsams from trees and shrubs, and for all the diseases referred 
to by Dr. Cooper, we warrant it almost a specific. For Gall, Grease and 
Wounds of Horses, it has no equal. We warrant it ; therefore do not hesitate 
to try it for every kind of Wound, Bruise or Sore.

OUHGOJV, although it had previously been seen by various naviga- 
tors, was first taken possession of by Capt. Robert Gray, who entered the 
mouth of its principal river May 7, 1792, naming it after his vessel, the 
Columbia, of Boston. Exploring expeditions soon followed, and fur com- 
panies sent their trappers and traders into the region. In 1811 a trading 
post was established at the mouth of the Columbia river by tbe American 
Fur Company, who named it Astoria. For some time a Provisional Ter- 
ritorial Government existed, but the boundary remained unsettled until 
the treaty with Great Britain in 1846, when the 49th parallel was adopted. 
It was formally organized as a Territory August 14, 1848 ; was divided 
March 2, 1853, on the 46th parallel, the northern portion being called 
Washington and the southern Oregon. November 9, 1857, a State Con- 
stitution was adopted, under which it was admitted February 14, 1859,

Charleston, and on the 24th unanimously adopted an ordinance of seces- 
sion, which was followed the next day by a Declaration of Causes claimed 
to be sufficient to justify the act. An election for delegates to a State Con- 
vention was held September 4, 1865. The Convention assembled Sep- 
tember 13, and adjourned on the 28th. It repealed the ordinance of seces- 
sion, abolished slavery, equalized the representation of the Senate and 
taxation throughout the State, giving the election of Governor and Presi- 
dential electors to the people, ordered voting in the Legislature by viva 
voce, endorsed the Administration unanimously, and directed a commis-

Isham G. Harris, and the rebel States, May 7, 1861, ratified the same day 
by the Senate by a vote of 14 to 6, and a Declaration of Independence 
submitted to the people, the election to be held June 8, the result of which

nessee, which had declared against separation by a vote of 32,923 to 14,780, 
they, in a Convention held at Greenville, June 18-21, repudiated it. An- 
drew Johnson, Provisional Governor of the State, called a State Conven- 
tion to be held in Nashville the second Monday in January. Delegates 
were elected, the Convention met, declared slavery forever abolished, pro- 
hibited compensation to owners of slaves, and abrogated the secession or- 
dinances. These amendments of the Constitution were submitted to the 
people 22d of February, 1865, with the following result : For ratification, 
22,197 ; rejection, 63. The United States Constitutional Amendment was 
ratified April 5, 1865.

part of Mexico until 1836, when she revolted from that Republic and in- 
stituted a separate Government, under which she existed until admitted 
into the Union by a joint resolution approved March 1st, 1845, imposing 
certain conditions, which were accepted, and a Constitution formed July 
4 of the same year, and another joint resolution adopted by Congress, 
consummating the annexation, was approved December 29, 1845. Area 
237,504 square miles, or 152,002,500 acres. Population in 1860,604,215, of 
whom 182,566 were slaves. It is an agricultural region, principally devo- 
ted to grain, cotton and tropical fruits. Free white male citizens of 21 
years of age, who have resided in the State one year and district six 
months are entitled to vote. A Convention assembled at Galveston Jan- 
uary 28,1861, and on February 1 passed an ordinance of secession, by a 
vote of 166 to 7, to be submitted to the people February 23, and on March 
4 they declared the State out of the Union, and Gov. Houston issued a 
Proclamation to that effect. 

YfiUMOJVT was settled in 1724, by Englishmen from Connecticut, 
chiefly under grants from New Hampshire ; was formed from a part of 
the territory of New York, by act of its Legislature March 6, 1769 ; framed 
a Constitution December 25, 1777, and was admitted into the Union 
March 4, 1791, by virtue of an act of Congress passed February 18 of the 
same year. Area 10,212 square miles, or 6,535,680 acres. Population in

laws of the Commonwealth after the re-organization of the county, city 
or town where he offers to vote, is qualified to vote for members of the 
General Assembly and all officers elective by the people. A Convention

by a Convention which met at Wheeling, May 11, 1861. Upon the divi- 
sion of the State in 1863, the seat of Government was removed to Alexan- 
dria. A State Constitutional Convention, March 10, 1864, adopted a sec- 
tion abolishing slavery. 

WEST VIRGINIA.— On the passage of the ordinance of se- 
cession by the Virginia Convention, a Convention of the western and other 
loyal counties of the State was held at Wheeling, which assembled May 
11, 1861, and on the 17th unanimously deposed the then State officers and 
organized a Provisional Government. On the 26th of November, 1861, a 
Convention representing the western counties assembled in Wheeling and 
framed a Constitution for West Virginia, which was submitted to the 
people on the 3d of May, 1862, and adopted by them by a nearly unani- 
mous vote. The division of the State was sanctioned by the Legislature 
May 13, 1862, and ratified by Congress by an act approved December 31, 
1862, conditioned on the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution 
providing for the gradual abolition of slavery, which was done on the 24th 
of March, 1863, by a vote of the qualified electors of the proposed State, 
28,318 voting in favor of the amendment, and 572 against it.. In pursu- 
ance of the act of Congress, the President issued a Proclamation, April

various times setting its boundaries. March 3, 1847, an act for its admis- 
sion into the Union was passed, to take effect on the issuing of a Procla- 
mation by the President, and by act of May 29, 1848, it was admitted into 
the Union. Area 53,924 square miles, or 34,511,360 acres. Population in 
1860, 775,881. It is an agricultural State, chiefly engaged in grain raising

rio-ht had been constitutionally adopted and is the law of the land. 



THE TERRITORIES, 

THEIR BOUNDARIES, AREA, PHYSICAL FEATURES, ETC. 



jiL&SJKA., our new territory, recently purchased of Russia, compre- 
hends all the north-west coast on the Pacific, and the adjacent islands north 
of the parallel of 50 degrees 40 minutes north, and the portion of the main- 
land west of the meridian (about 140° west) of Mount St. Elias. The area 
is computed at 481,276 square miles. The climate, although warmer than 
in the same latitude on the eastern coast, is too rigorous to admit of suc- 
cessful agricultural operations, and the chief value of the country and ad- 
jacent seas is derived from their fisheries and hunting grounds. The south- 
ern and central portions are mountainous ; the northern portion along the 
Arctic ocean is quite flat, nowhere rising more than fifteen or twenty feet 
above the sea. The population is estimated at about 80,000, mostly Esqui- 
meaux. 

A.1UZOJVA. was organized by the Thirty-Seventh Congress, in the win- 
ter of 1863, out of the western half of New Mexico, the boundary between 
the two Territories being the 109th meridian (32d west from Washington,) 
and includes the greater portions of the valleys of Colorado and Gila, 
which two rivers drain its entire surface, with parts of Utah, New Mexico 
and Nevada, and yet convey, it is reported, a less volume of water to the 
sea than the Hudson at Albany. The fertile Messilla Valley was left with 
New Mexico. The Territory forms a block nearly square, and contains 
126,141 square miles, or 80,730,240 acres. Its white population is probably 
considerably less than 10,000. For agricultural purposes it is probably 
the most worthless on the Continent, owing to the absence of rains, but it 
is reputed to abound in silver mines. 

COZOHADO was organized March 2, 1861, from parts of Kansas, 
Nebraska and Utah, and is situated on each side of the Rocky Mountains, 
between latitude 37° and 41°, and longitude 25° and 32° west from Wash- 
ington. Area 104,500 square miles, or 66,880,000 acres. Population 50,- 
000, besides numerous tribes of Indians. By an enabling act passed March 
21, 1864, the people of the Territory were authorized to frame a State Con- 
stitution and organize a State Government, and a Convention accordingly 
met in 1865, and on the 12th of August adopted a Constitution, which was 
submitted to and adopted by the people September 5, and State officers 
elected November 14. A bill to admit the Territory as a State passed 
Congress, but was vetoed May 25, 1866. It is said to be a superior graz- 
ing and cattle producing region, with a healthy climate and rich soil. 
An extensive coal bed, and also gold, iron and other minerals abound.

2>A£*0 TjL was first settled by emyloyees of the Hudson Bay Com- 
pany, but is now being peopled by emigrants from the Northern and Wes- 
tern States. It was set off from the western portion of Minnesota when 
that Territory became a State in 1857, and was organized March 2, 1861. 
Area 148,932 square miles, or 95,316,480 acres. Population 2.576 whites, 
and 2,261 Indians, besides the roving tribes. 

I3)jLHO was organized by the Thirty- Seventh Congress, at its second 
session, in the winter of 1863. Its name means 'Bead of the Mountains,' 
and it embraces the whole breadth of the Rocky Mountain region, and has 
within its bounds the head waters of nearly all the great rivers that flow 
down its either slope, but the greater portion lies east of the mountains. 
Its southern boundary is the 41st, its northern the 46th parallel of latitude. 
It extends from the 104th meridian on the east to the 110th on the west. 
Area 326,373 square miles, or 208,870,720 acres. For agricultural purposes 
it is comparatively worthless, but abounds in gold and other valuable 
mines. 

MONTANA, was settled by emigrants from the Northern and West- 
ern States. Organized in 1864, with the following boundaries: Com- 
mencing at a point formed by the intersection of the 27 Q L. W. from Wash- 
ington with the 45 Q N. L. ; thence due west on said 45th degree to a point 
formed by its intersection with the 34th degree W. from Washington ; 
thence due south along said 34th degree of longitude to its intersection 
with the 44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. ; thence due west along said 
44th degree and 30 minutes of N. L. to a point formed by its intersection 
with the crest of the Rocky Mountains; thence following the crest of the 
Rocky Mountains northward till its intersection with the Bitter Root 
Mountains ; thence northward along the crest of said Bitter Root Moun- 
tains to its intersection with the 39th degree of longitude W. from Wash- 
ington ; thence along said 39th degree of longitude northward to the 
boundary line of the British possessions; thence eastward along said 
boundary to the 27th degree of longitude W. from Washington ; thence 
southward along said 27th degree to the place of beginning. This makes 
it the northermost Territory next the States east of the Missouri Valley. It 
is a good mining and agricultural region. The total population is put 
down at 15,822. Large accessions have been made since the census was 
taken. 

JVJZW JWJE7XICO was formed from a part of the territory ceded to 
the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, Feb- 
ruary 2, 1848, and was organized into a Territory September 9, 1850. — 
Area 121,201 square miles, or 77,568,640 acres. Population 83,000, besides 
large tribes of warlike Indians. The principal resource of the country is 
its minerals. 

UTri.JE[vw8> settled by the Mormons, and was formed from a part of 
the territory ceded to the United States by Mexico, by the treaty of Guada- 
loupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848, and was organized into a Territory, Sep- 
tember 9, 1850. Area, 106,382 square miles, or 68,084,480 acres. Popula- 
tion, 40,273, of whom 29 were slaves. Brine, sulphureous and chalybeate 
springs abound ; limestone, granite, sandstone and marble are found in 
large quantities ; iron is abundant, and gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc 
have been found. Not one-fiftieth part of the soil is fit for tillage, but on 
that which is, abundant crops of grain and considerable cotton are raised. 
A Convention was held at Great Salt Lake City, January 22, 1862, and a 
State Constitution formed, but it has not been acted on by Congress. 

WASHING TO >./V*was settled by emigrants from the Northern and 
Western States, and was organized intoa Territory, March 2, 1853, from the 
northern portion of Oregon, to which was added another portion from the

eastern part when the latter Territory was admitted as a State, February 
14, 1859. Area 69,994 square miles, or 48,636,800 acres. Population 
11,168, besides numerous tribes of Indians. 

WYOMING was organized in July 1868. It lies between the 27th and 
34th meridians of longitude west from Washington, and between the 
41st and 45th parallels of latitude. The Territory is rich in mineral wealth, 
having large quantities of iron, coal, gypsum and building stone, besides 
vast quantities of gold, silver and copper. Salt springs of great value are 
found within its limits. The western portion of the Territory embraces 
what is generally known as the " Sweet Water Mines." The climate is 
healthy, and the Territory is rapidly filling up with an enterprising and 
hardy population. The act of Congress organizing the Territory, provides 
that l< There shall be no denial of the elective franchise or any other right, 
on account of color or race, and all persons shall be equal before the law."

State* Government of claims 
by soldiers, or their legal rep- 
resentatives, for pensions,

erty lost in the service, exempt. 

CANCELLATION. 

In all cases where an adhesive stamp is 
used for denoting the stamp duty upon an 
instrument, the person using or affixing the 
same must write or imprint thereupon in 
ink the initials of his name, and the date 
(the year, month, and day) on which the 
same is attached or used. Each stamp 
should be separately cancelled. When 
stamps are printed upon checks, &c, so 
that in filling up the instrument, the face of 
the stamp is and must necessarily be writ- 
ten across, no other cancellation will bo re- 
quired. 

All cancellation must be distinct and legi- 
ble, and except in the case of proprietary 
stamps from private dies,, no method of 
cancellation which differs from that above 
de^-cribed can be recognized as legal and 
sufficient. 

PENALTIES. 

A penalty of fifty dollars is imposed upon 
every person who makes, signs, or issues, 
or who causes to be made, signed, or issu- 
ed, any paper of any kind or description 
whatever, or who accepts, negotiates, or 
pays, or causes to be accepted, negotiated, 
or paid, any bill of exchange, draft, or or- 
der, or promissory note, for the payment of 
money, without the same being duly stamp- 
ed, or having thereupon an adhesive stamp 
for denoting the tax chargeable thereon, 
cancelled in'the manner required by law, 
with intent to evade the provisions of the 
revenue act. 

A penalty of two hundred dollars is im- 
posed upon every person who pays, nego- 
tiates, or offers in payment, or receives or 
takes in payment, any bill of exchange or 
order for the payment of any sum of money 
drawn or purporting to be drawn in a for- 
eign country, but payable in the United 
States, until the proper stamp has been af- 
fixed thereto. 

A penalty of fifty dollars is- imposed upon 
every person who fraudulently makes use 
of an adhesive stamp to denote the duty re- 
quired by the revenue act, without effectu- 
ally cancelling ahd obliterating the same in 
the manner required by law. 

Attention is particularly called to the fol- 
lowing extract from section 155, of the act 
of June 30, 1864 r as amended by the act of 
July 13, 1S6G : 

"If any person shall wilfully remove or 
cause to be removed, alter or cause to be al- 
tered, the cancelling or defacing marks on 
any adhesive stamp, with intent to use the 
same, or to cause the use of the same, after 
it shall have been used once, or shall know- 
ingly or wilfully sell or buy such washed 
or restored stamps, or offer the same for 
sale, or give or expose the same to any per- 



38

son Tor use, or knowingly wee the mme or 
prepare the same with intent for the fur- 
ther use thereof, or if any person shall 
knowingly and without lawful escme (the 
proof whereof shall lie on the person accus- 
ed) have in hie possession any washed, re- 
stored, or altered stamps, which have been 
removed from any vellum, parchment, pa- 
per, instrument or writing; then, and in 
every such case, every person so offending, 
and every person knowingly and wilfully 
aiding, abetting, or assisting in committing 
any such offence as aforesaid, shall, on con- 
viction thereof, * * * be punished by 
a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, 
or by imprisonment and confinement to 
hard labor not exceeding five years, or both, 
at the discretion of the court." 

It is not lawful to record any instrument, 
document, or paper required by law to be 
stamped, or any copy thereof, unless a 
stamp or stamps of the proper amount have 
been affixed and cancelled in the manner 
required by law ; and such instrument or 
copy and the record thereof are utterly null 
and void, and cannot be used or admitted as 
evidence in any court until the defect has 
been cured as provided in section 158. 

All willful violations of the law should be 
reported to the United States District Attor- 
ney within and for the district where they 
are committed. 

GENERAL REMARKS. 

Revenue stamps may be used indiscrimi- 
nately upon any of the matters or things 
enumerated in Schedule B, except proprie- 
tary and playing card stamps, for which a 
special use has been provided. 

Postage stamps cannot be used in pay- 
ment of the duty chargeable on instru- 
ments. 

The law does not designate which of the 
parties to an instrument shall furnish the 
necessary stamp, nor does the Commission- 
er of Internal Revenue assume to determine 
that it shall be supplied by one party rather 
than by another ; but if an instrument sub- 
ject to stamp duty is issued without having 
the necessary stamps affixed thereto, it can- 
not be recorded, or admitted, or used in ev- 
idence, in anj r court, until a legal stamp or 
stamps, denoting the amount of tax, shall 
have been affixed as prescribed by law, and 
the person who thus issues it is liable to a 
penalty, if he omits the stamps with an in- 
tent to evade the provisions of the internal 
revenue act. 

The first act imposing a stamp tax upon 
certain specified instruments took effect, so 
far as said tax is concerned, October 1, 1862. 
The impression which seems to prevail to 
some extent, that no stamps are required 
upon any instruments issued in the States 
lately in insurrection, prior to the surren- 
der, or prior to the establishment of collec- 
tion districts there, is erroneous. 

Instruments issued in those States since 
October 1, 1802. are subject to the same tax- 
es as similar ones issued at the same time 
in the other States. 

No stamp is necessary upon an instrument 
executed prior to October 1, 1862, to make 



it admissible in evidence, or to entitle it to 
record'. 

Certificates of loan in which there shall 
appear any written or printed evidence of 
an amount of money to be paid on dei n nd, 
or at a time designated, are subject toe:. imp 
duty as "promissory notes." 

When two or more persons join in the ex- 
ecution of an instrument, the stamp to which 
the instrument is liable under the law, may 
be affixed and cancelled by either of them ; 
and "when more than one signature is affix- 
ed to the same paper, one or more stamps 
may be affixed thereto, representing the 
whole amount of the stamp required for 
such signatures." 

No stamp is required on any warrant of 
attorney accompanying a bond or note, 
when such bond or note has affixed thereto 
the stamp or stamps denoting the duty re- 
quired ; and, whenever any bond or note is 
secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty is 
required on such papers— such stamp duty 
being the highest rate required for such in- 
struments, or either of them. In such case 
a note or memorandum of the value or de- 
nomination of the stamp affixed should be 
made upon the margin or in the acknowl- 
edgement of the instrument which is not 
stamped. 

Particular attention is called to the 
change in section 154, by striking out the 
words "or used ;" the exemption thereun- 
der is thus restricted to documents, &c. t 
issued by the officers therein named. Also 
to the changes in sections 152 and 158, by 
inserting the words "and cancelled in the 
manner required by law." 

The acceptor or acceptors of any bill of 
exchange, or order for the payment of any 
sum of money, drawn or purporting to be 
drawn in any foreign country, but payable 
in the United States, must, before paying or 
accepting the same, place thereupon a 
stamp indicating the duty. 

It is only upon conveyances of realty sold 
that conveyance stamps are necessary. A 
deed of real estate made without valuable 
consideration need not be stamped as a 
conve}'ance ; but if it contains covenants. 
such, for instance, as a covenant to warrant 
and defend the title, it should be stamped 
as an agreement or contract. 

When a deed purporting to be a convey- 
ance of realty sold, and stamped according- 
ly, is inoperative, a deed of confirmation, 
made simply to cure the defect, requires no 
stamp. In such case, the second deed 
should contain a recital of the facts, and 
should show the reasons for its execution. 

Partition deeds between tenants in com- 
mon, need not be stamped as conveyances, 
inasmuch as there is no sale of realty, but 
merely a marking out, or a defining, of the 
boundaries of the part belonging to each ; 
but. where money or other valuable consid- 
eration is paid by one co-tenant to another 
for equality of partition, there is a sale to 
the extent of such consideration, and the 
conveyance, by the party receiving it, 
should be stamped accordingly. 

A conveyance ot lands sold for unpaid 
taxes, issued since August 1, 1800, by the 
officers of any county, town, or other mu-

nicipal corporation in the discharge of their 
strictly official duties, is exempt from 
stamp tax. 

A conveyance of realty eold, subject to a 
mortgage, should be stamped according to 
the consideration, or the value of the prop- 
erty unencumbered. The consideration in 
such case is to be found by adding the 
amount paid for the equity of redemption 
to the mortgage debt. The fact that one 
part of the consideration is paid to the 
mortgagor and the other part to the mort- 
gagee does not change the liability of the 
conveyance. 

The stamp tax upon a mortgage is based 
upon ihe amount it is given to secure. The 
fact that the value of the property mortgag- 
ed is less than that amount, and that conse- 
quently the security is only partial, does 
not change the liability of the instrument. 
When, therefore, a second mortgage is giv- 
en to secure the payment of a sum of mon- 
ey partially secured by a prior mortgage up- 
on other property, or when two mortgages 
upon separate property are given at the 
same time to secure the payment of the 
same sum, each should be stamped as 
though it were the only one. 

A mortgage given to secure a surety from 
lose, or given for any purpose whatever, 
other than as security for the payment of a 
definite and certain sum of money, is taxa- 
able only as an agreement or contract. 

The stamp duty uporf a lease, agreement, 
memorandum, or contract for the hire, use, 
or rent of any land, tenement, or portion 
thereof, is based upon the annual rent or 
rental value of the property leased, and the 
duty is the 6ame whether 'the lease be for 
one" year, for a term of years, or for the 
fractional part of a year only. 

Upon every assignment or transfer of a 
mortgage, a stamp tax is required equal to 
that imposed upon a mortgage for the 
amount remaining unpaid ; this tax is re- 
quired upon every such transfer in writing, 
whether there is a sale of the mortgage or 
not ; but no stamp is necessary upon the 
endorsement of a negotiable instrument, 
even though the legal effect of such indorse- 
ment is to transfer a mortgage by which 
the instrument is secured. 

An assignment of a lease within the mean- 
ing and intent of Schedule B, is an assign- 
ment of the, leasehold, or of some portion 
thereof, by the lessee, or by some person 
claiming by, from, or under him ; such an 
assignment as subrogates the assignee to 
the rights, or some portion of the rights, of 
the lessee, or of the person standing in his 
place. A transfer by the lessor of fiis part 
of a lease, neither giving nor purporting 
to give a claim to the leasehold, or to any 
part thereof, but simply aright to the rents, 
&c, is subject to stamp tax as a contract 
or agreement onlj*. 

The stamp tax upon a fire insurance 
policy is based upon the premium. 

Deposit notes taken by a mutual fire in- 
surauce company, not as payment of pre- 
mium nor as evidence of indebtedness 
therefor, but to be used simply as a basis 
upon which to make rateable assessments to 
meet the losses incurred by the company, 



should not be reckoned as premium in de- 
termining the amount of stamp taxes upon 
the policies. 

When a policy of insurance properly 
Btamped has been issued and lost, no stamp 
is necessary upon another issued by the 
j same company to the same party, covering 
1 the same property, time, &c, and designed 
! simply to supply the loss. The second 
' policy should recite the loss of the first. 
: An instrument which operates as the re- 
newal of a policy of insurance, is subject to 
the same stamp tax as the policy. 

When a policy of insurance is issued for 
a certain time, whether it be for one year 
only or for a term of years, a receipt" for 
premium, or any other instrument which 
has the legal effect to continue the contract 
and extend its operation beyond that time, re- 
quires the same amount of revenue stamps 
as the policy itself; but such a receipt as 
is usually given for the payment of the 
monthly, quarterly, or annual premium, is 
not a renewal within the meaning of the 
statute. The payment simply prevents the 
policy from expiring, by reason of non-per- 
formance of its conditions ; a receipt given 
for such a payment requires a two-cent 
stamp, if the amount received exceeds 
twenty dollars, and a two-cent stamp only. 
When, however, the time of payment has 
passed, and a tender of the premium is not 
sufficient to bind the company, but a new 
policy or a new contract in some form, with 
the mutuality essential to every contract, 
becomes necessary between the insurer and 
the insured, the same amount of stamps 
should be used as that required upon the 
original policy. 

I A permit issued by a life insurance com- 
pany changing the terms of a policy as to 
travel, residence, occupation, &c, should 
I be stamped as a contract or agreement. 
| A bill single or a bill obligatory, i. e.. an 
instrument in the form of a promissory 
I note, under seal, is subject to stamp duty 
as written or printed evidence of an amount 
of money to be paid on demand or at a 
time designated, at the rate of five cents 
for each one hundred dollars or fractional 
part thereof. 

A waiver of protest, or of demand and 
notice, written upon negotiable paper and 
signed by the indorser, is an agreement, 
and requires a five-cent stamp. 

A stamp duty of twenty-five cents is im- 
posed upon the "protest uf every note, bill 
of exchange, check or draft," and upon 
every marine protest. If several notes, 
bills of exchange, drafts, &c. are protest- 
ed at the same time and all attached to one 
and the same certificate, stamps should be 
affixed to the amount of twenty-five cents 
for each note, bill, draft, &c, thus protest- 
ed. 

When, as is generally the case, the cap- 
tion to a deposition contains other certifi- 
cates in addition to the jurat to the affida- 
vit of the deponent, such as a certificate 
that the parties were or were not notified, 
that they did or did not appear, that they 
did or did not object, &c, it is subject 10 
a stamp duty of five cents. 
When an attested copy of a writ or other 



40

process is used by a sheriff or other person 
in making personal service, or in attaching 
property, a five-cent stamp should be affix- 
ed to the certificate of attestation. 

A marriage certificate issued by the offi- 
ciating clergyman or magistrate, to be re- 
turned to any officer of a State, county, city, 
town, or other municipal corporation, to 
constitute part of a public record, requires 
no stamp ; but if it is to be retained by 
the parties, a five-cent stamp should be af- 
fixed. 

The stamp tax upon a bill of sale, by 
which any ship or vessel, or any part there- 
of, is conveyed to or vested in any other 
person or persons, is at the same rate as 
that imposed, upon conveyances of realty 
sold; a bill of sale of any other personal 
property should be stamped as a contract 
or agreement. 

An assignment of real or personal prop- 
erty, or of both, for the benefit of creditors, 
should be stamped as an agreement or con- 
tract. 

Written or printed assignments ofagree- 
ments, bonds, notes not negotiable, and 
of all other instruments the assignments 
of which are not particularly specified in 
the foregoing schedule, should- be stamped 
as agreements. 

No 6tamp is necessary upon the registry 
of a judgment, even though the registry is 
such in its legal effect as- to create a lien 
which operates as a mortgage upon the 
property of the judgment debtor.. 

Wfien a "power of attorney or proxy for 
voting at any election for officers of any 
incorporated company or society, except 
religious, charitable, or literary societies, 
or public cemeteries," is signed by sever- 
al stockholders, owning separate and dis- 
tinct shares, it is, in its legal effect, the 
separate instrument of each,, and requires 
stamps to the amount of ten cents for each 
and every signature ; one or more stamps 
may be used representing the whole amount 
required. 



A notice from landlord to tenant to 
quit possession of premises requires no 
stamp. 

A stamp tax is imposed upon every 
"manifest for custom-house entry or clear- 
ance of the cargo of any ship, vessel, or 
steamer for a foreign port." The amount 
of this tax in each case depends upon the 
registered tonnage of the vessel. 

If a vessel clears in ballast and has no 
cargo whatever, no stamp is necessary; 
but if she has any, however small the amount 
—a stamp should be used. 

A bond to convey real estate requires 
stamps to the amount of twenty-five cents. 

The stamp duty upon the probate of a 
will, or upon letters of administration, is 
based upon the sworn or declared value of 
all the estate and effects, real, personal, 
and mixed, undiminished by the debts of 
the estate for or in respect of which such 
probate or letters are applied for. 

When the property belonging to the es- 
tate of a person deceased, lies under dif- 
ferent jurisdictions and it becomes neces- 
sary to take out letters in two or more 
places, the letters should be stamped ac- 
cording to the value of all the property, real, 
personal, and mixed, for or in respect of 
which the particular letters in each case 
are issued. 

Letters de bonis non should be stamped 
according to the amount of property re- 
maininglo be administered upon thereun- 
der, regardless of the stamps upon the orig- 
inal letters. 

A mere copy of an instrument is not sub- 
ject to stamp duty unless it is a certified 
one, in which case a five-cent stamp should 
be affixed to the certificate of the person 
attesting it ; but when an instrument is 
executed and issued in duplicate, triplicate, 
&c, as in the case of a lease of two or more 
parts, each part has the iaame legal effect as 
the other, and each should, be stamped as 
an original...

RULES FOR DETECTING COUNTERFEIT BANK NOTES. 



Infallible Rules for Detecting Counterfeit or 
Spurious Bank Notes. 



Rule 1st.- Examine the shading of the 
letters in title of Bank called lathework, 
which in genuine notes presents an even, 
straight, light and silky appearance, gen- 
erally so fine and smooth as to appear to be 
all in one solid, pale body. In the counter- 
feit the lines are coarse and irregular, and 
in many of the longer lines breaks will be 
perceived, thus presenting a very inferior 
finish in comparison to genuine work. 

2d. — Observe the dies, circles and ovals 
in the genuine ; they are composed of a 
network of lines, which, by crossing each 
other at certain angles, produce an endless 
variety of figures ; see the one cent stamp 
attached. The fine line alone is the 
unit which enables you to detect spurious 
work. In the counterfeit, the represented 
white lines, are coarse, irregular, and cross 
each other in a confused, irregular manner, 
thus producing blurred and imperfect 
figures. 

od.— Examine the form and features of 
all human figures on the. note. In the gen- 
uine, the texture of the skin is represented 
by fine dots and lines intermixed. In the 
eyes, the pupil is distinctly visible, and the 
white clearly seen; the nose, mouth and 
chin, well formed, natural and expressive ; 
the hps are slightly pouting, and the chin 
well thrown out ; and the delicate shading 
of the neck perfectly harmonizes with the 
rest of the figure. Observe the fingers and 
toes ; they should be clearly and accurately 
defined. The hair of the head should show 
the fine strands and present a natural ap- 
pearance. The folds of the drapery of hu- 
man figures should lay natural and present 
a fine, finished appearance. In the counter- 
feit the female figure does not bear the 
natural prominence in outlines; observe, 
the eyes and shading surrounding does not 
present the lifelike appearance It should. 
The Angers and toes are not properly and 
proportionately defined; the hair does not 
bear that soft and finished appearance as in 
the genuine. 

4th.— Examine the imprinter engraver's 
names in the ereuness and shape of the 



fine letters. Counterfeits never bear the 
imprint perfect. This rule should be strict- 
ly observed, as it is infallible in detecting 
counterfeits. 

5th. — In the genuine note the landscapes 
are well finished ; trees and shrubs are 
neatly drawn ; the limbs well proportioned, 
and the foliage presenting a fine natural 
appearance ; clear sky is formed of fine 
parallel lines, and when clouds or heavy 
skies appear, they cross each other, and 
bear a soft, smooth and natural appear- 
ance. The perspective, showing a view of 
the surrounding country, is always clear 
and distinct. The small figures in the 
background are always plainly seen, and 
their outlines and general character re- 
cognized. Ships are well defined and the 
canvass has a clear texture ; railroad cars 
are very accurately delineated ; in examin- 
ing a train observe carefully the car most 
distant. In the counterfeit the landscape 
is usually poorly executed ; the leaves of 
trees poorly and unnaturally defined. — 
The lines representing still water are 
scratchy rather than parallel, the sky is 
represented generally in like manner, and 
where rolling clouds are to be seen, the 
unnatural effect is obvious. Domestic 
animals are generally poorly executed, 
particularly the head and limbs ; the eyes 
are seldom clearly defined. Ships are 
poorly drawn, the texture of the canvass 
coarse and inferior in style of workman- 
ship, thus giving an artificial appearance. 
Railroad cars are also poorly executed ; the 
car farthest from the eye is usually the 
most imperfect. The perspective is always 
imperfect, the figures in the background 
can seldom be recognized. 

fith. — Bills altered from a smaller to a 
higher denomination, can readily be de- 
tected by a close observer, in consequence 
of the striking difference between the parts 
which have been extracted and the rest of 
the note. This difference is readily per- 
ceived in the lack of color, body and finish 
of the dye ; we have seen bills where the 
surrounding shading in altered dies was 



HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



45 



too dark, but from the back or finish of the 
white lines you have a sure test. Again 
observe particularly the words " Five " or 
" Ten Dollars " as the case may be, denot- 
ing the denomination of the note ; the 
parallel outlines and shading (if any) are 
coarse and imperfect. Alterations are fre- 
quently made by pasting a greater denomi- 
nation over a smaller, out by holding the 
bill up to the light, the fraud will be per- 
ceived. Another method resorted to is to 
cut out the figures in the dies as well as 
the words one dollar, or the words two or 
three as the case may be, and with a sharp 
eraser, scrape down the ends and also the 
edges of the pieces to be inserted ; when 



the pieces thus prepared are affixed they 
are hardly perceivable; but by passing 
the note through the hand, so as to feel 



the die both with the finger and thumb 
at the same time, the fraud will be de- 
tected by the stiffness of the outer 
edges, " occasioned by the gum or method 
adopted" in affixing the parts. The letter 
8 should always be examined, as in many 
alterations it is pasted or stamped at the 
end of the word " dollar; 11 and even when 
stamped there, the carrying out of the out- 
lines for its shading will readily show the 
fraud. Bills of broken banks are frequent- 
ly altered by extracting the name of bank, 
state and town ; they may readily be de- 



tected by observing first the state, second 
the title or name of the bank, third the 
town or location. 

General Remarks in Reference to 
Counterfeits.— The paper on which they 
are printed is generally of a very inferior 
quality, with less body, finish and tough- 
ness than bank note paper has. The ink 
generally lacks the rich luster of the gen- 
uine ; the red letters and figures are gen- 
erally imperfect, and the ink does not pre- 
sent the vermillion hue as it should. The 
printing is generally inferior, usually ex- 
hibiting specks of white in the most promi- 
nent letters. The date and filling up, and 
the President's and Cashier's names are 
generally written by the same person, 
although in many instances they present 
a different appearance. There are bills in 
circulation bearing either genuine dies or 
vignettes ; but upon close examination 
you will be enabled to detect any spurious 
bill, whether counterfeit or altered, by the 
instructions here given, if persevered in for 
a short time. We beg to suggest, if time 
will admit, the learner should examine 
minutely every bill he receives. A pow- 
erful pocket magnifying glass, which can 
be purchased for from fifty cents to one dol- 
lar at any of the opticians, will greatly en- 
able you to see and comprehend the differ- 
ence between genuine and spurious work. 



HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



What will my readers give to know how 
to get rich? Now, I will not vouch that 
the following rules will enable every per- 
son who may read them to acquire wealth ; 
but this I will answer for, that if ever a 
man does grow rich by honest means, and 
retains his wealth for any length of time, 
he must practice upon the principles laid 
down in the following essay. The re- 
marks are not original with me, but I 
strongly commend them to the attention 
of every young man, at least as affording 
the true secret of success in attaining 
wealth. A single perusal of such an essay 
at an impressible moment, has sometimes 
a very wonderful effect upon the disposi- 
tion and character. 

Fortune, they say, is a fickle dame— full 
of her freaks and caprices ; who blindly 
distributes her favors without the slightest 
discrimination. So inconstant, so waver- 
ing is she represented, that her most faith- 
ful votaries can place no reliance on her 
promises. Disappointment, they tell us, 
is the lot of those who make offerings at 



her shrine. Now, all this is a vile slander 
upon the dear blind lady. 

Although wealth often appears the result 
of mere accident, or a fortunate concur- 
rence of favorable circumstances without 
any exertion of skill or foresight, yet any 
man of sound health and unimpaired mind 
may become wealthy, if he takes the prop- 
er steps. 

Foremost in the list of requisites are 
honesty and strict integrity in every trans- 
action of life. Let a man have the reputa- 
tion of being fair and upright in his deal- 
ings, and he will possess the confidence of 
all who know him. Without these qualities 
every other merit will prove unavailing. 
Ask concerning a man, " Is he active and 
capable? 11 Yes. "Industrious, temper- 
ate and regular in his habits ? "—Oh yes. 
"Is he honest? Is he trustworthy? 11 
Why, as to that, I am sorry to say that he 
is not to be trusted ; he needs watching ; 
he is a little tricky, and will take an undue 
advantage, if he can. "Then I will have 
nothing to do with him, 11 will be the in- 



46 



II OW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS. 



variable reply. Why, then, is honesty the 
best policy ? Because, without it, you will 
get a bad name, and everybody will shun 
you. 

A character for knavery will prove an in- 
surmountable obstacle to success in al- 
most every undertaking. It will be found 
that the straight line is, in business, as in 
geometry, the shortest. In a word, it is 
almost impossible for a dishonest man to 
acquire wealth by a regular process of bus- 
iness, because he is shunned as a depreda- 
tor upon society. 

Needy men are apt to deviate from the 
rule of integrity, under the plea that ne- 
cessity knows no law ; they might as well 
add that it knows no shame. The course 
is suicidal, and by destroying all confidence, 
ever keeps them immured in poverty, 
although they may possess every other 
quality for success in the world. 

Punctuality, which is said to be the soul 
of business, is another important element 
in the art of money getting. The man 
known to be scrupulously exact in the ful- 
fillment of his engagements, gains the 
confidence of all, and may command all 
the means he can use with advantage : 
whereas, a man careless and regardless of 
his promises in money matters will have 
every purse closed against him. Therefore 
be prompt in your payments. 

Next, let us consider the advantages of 
a cautious circumspection in our inter- 
course with the world. Slowness of be- 
lief and a proper distrust are essential to 
success. The credulous and confiding are 
ever the dupes of knaves and impostors. 
Ask those who have lost their property 
how it happened, and you will find in 
most cases that it has been owing to mis- 

S laced confidence. One has lost by en- 
orsing, another by crediting, another 
by false representations ; all of which a 
little more foresight and a little more dis- 
trust would have prevented. In the af- 
fairs of this world men are not saved by 
faith, but by the want of it. 

Judge of men by what they do, not by 
what they say. Believe in looks rather 
than words. Observe all their movements. 
Ascertain their motives and their ends. 
Notice what they say or do in their un- 
guarded moments, when under the influ- 
ence of excitement. The passions have 
been compared to tortures which force men 
to reveal their secrets. Before trusting a 
man, before putting it in his power to 
c;ui^e you a loss, possess yourself of every 
available information relative to him. 
Learn his history, his habits, inclinations 
and propensities ; his reputation for honor, 
industry, frugality and punctuality; his 
prospects, resources, supports, advantages 
and disadvantages ; his intentions and mo- 
tives of action; who are his friends and 
enemies, and what are his good or bad qual- 
ities. You may learn a man's good qualities 
and advantages from his friends— his bad 
qualities and disadvantages from his ene- 
mies. Make due allowance for exaggeration 
in both. Finally, examine carefully before 
engaging in anything, and act with energy 
afterwards. Have the hundred eyes of 



Argus beforehand, and the hundred hands 
of Briarius afterwards. 

Order and system in the management of 
business must not be neglected. Nothing 
contributes more to dispatch. Have a 
place for everything and everything in its 
place ; a time for everything, and every- 
thing in its time. Do firstwhat presses 
most, and having determined what is to be 
done, and how it is to be done, lose no 
time in doing it. Without this method all 
is hurry and confusion, little or nothing is 
accomplished, and business is attended to 
with neither pleasure nor profit. 

A polite, affable deportment is recom- 
mended. Agreeable manners contribute 
powerfully to a man's success. Take two 
men, possessing equal advantages in every 
other respect, but let one be gentlemanly, 
kind, obliging and conciliating in his man- 
ners ; the other harsh, rude and disobliging; 
and the one will become rich, while the 
other will starve. 

We are now to consider a very important 
principle in the business of money-getting, 
namely — Industry — persevering, indefati- 
gable attention to business. Persevering 
diligence is the Philosopher's stone, which 
turns everything to gold. Constant, regu- 
lar, habitual and systematic application to 
business, must in time, it properly directed, 
produce great results. It must lead to 
wealth, with the same certainty that pov- 
erty follows in the train of idleness and 
inattention. It has been truly remarked 
that he who follows his amusements in- 
stead of his business, will, in a short time, 
have no business to follow. 

The art of money-saving is an important 
part of the art of money-getting. Without 
frugality no one can become rich ; with it, 
few would be poor. Those who consume 
as fast as they produce, are on the road to 
ruin. As most of the poverty we meet 
with grows out of idleness and extrava- 
gance, so most large fortunes have been 
the result of habitual industry and frugali- 
ty. The practice of economy is as neces- 
sary in the expenditure of time as of 
money. They say if " we take care of the 
pence the pounds will take care of them- 
selves." So, if we take care of the 
minutes, the days will take care of them- 
selves. 

The acquisition of wealth demands as 
much self-denial, and as many sacrifices 
of present gratification, as the practice of 
virtue itself. Vice and poverty proceed, in 
some degree, from the same sources, 
namely— the disposition to sacrifice the 
future to the present ; the inability to fore- 
go a small present pleasure for great future 
advantages. Men fail of fortune in this 
world, as they fail of happiness in the 
world to come, simply because they are un- 
willing to deny themselves momentary en- 
joyments for the sake of permanent future 
happiness. 

Every large city is filled with persons, 
who, in order to support the appearance of 
wealth, constantly live beyond their in- 
come, and make up the deficiency by 
contracting debts which are never paid. 
Others, there are, the mere drones of so-

ciety, who pass their days in idleness, and 
subsist by pirating on the hives of the in- 
dustrious. Many who run a short lived 
career of splendid beggary, could they be 
but persuaded to adopt a system of rigid 
economy for a few vears, might pass the 
remainder of their days in affluence. But 
no ! They must keep up appearances, 
they must live like other folks. 

Their debts accumulate ; their credit 
fails; they are harassed by duns, and be- 
sieged by constables and sheriff. In this 
extremity, as a last resort, they submit to 
a shameful dependence, or engage in crim- 
inal practices which entail hopeless wretch- 
edness and infamy on • themselves and 
families. 



Stick to the business in which you are 
regularly employed. Let speculators make 
thousands in a year or a day ; mind your 
own regular trade, never turning from it 
to the right hand or to the left, if you are 
a merchant, a professional man, or a me- 
chanic, never buy lots or stocks, unless 
you have surplus money which you wish 
to invest. Your own business you under- 
stand as well as other men ; but other peo- 
ple's business you do not understand. 
Let your business be some one which is 
useful to the community. All such occu- 
pations possess the elements of profit in 
themselves. 



How to Secure the Public Lands, 

OR THE ENTRY OF THE SAME UNDER THE PRE-EMPTION AND HOMESTEAD 

LAWS. 



The following circular gives all necessary 
information as to the procedure necessary 
in purchasing and securing the public 

Department of the Interior, ) 

Gen'l Land Office, July 19, 1865. f 

Numerous questions having arisen as to 
the mode of procedure to purchase public 
lands, or acquire title to the same by bounty 
land locations, by pre-emptions or by home- 
stead, this circular is communicated for the 
information of all concerned. 

In order to acquire title to public lands 
the following steps must be taken : 

1. Application must be made to the Reg- 
ister of the district land office in which the 
land desired may be situated. 

A list of all the land offices in the United 
States is furnished by the Department, 
with the seats of the different offices, 
where it is the duty of the Register and 
Receiver to be in attendance, " and give 
proper facilities and information to persons 
desirous of obtaining lands. 

The minimum price of ordinary public 
lands is $1,25 per acre. The even or re- 
served sections falling within railroad 
grants are increased to double the minimum 
price, being $2.50 per acre. 

Lands once offered at public sale, and not 
afterwards kept out of market by reserva- 
tion, or otherwise, bo as to prevent free 
competition, may be entered or located. 

2. By the applicant filing with the Regis- 
ter his written application describing the 



tract, with its area ; the Register will then 
certify to the receiver whether the land is 
vacant, with its price ; and when found to 
be so, the applicant must pay that price 
per acre, or may locate the same with land 
warrant, and thereafter the Receiver will 
give him a "duplicate receipt," which he 
is required to surrender previous to the 
delivery to him of the patent, which may 
be had either by application for it to the 
Register or to the General Land Office. 

3. If the tract has not been offered at 
public sale it is not liable to ordinary pri- 
vate entry, but may be secured by a party 
legally qualified, upon his compliance with 
the requirements of the pre-emption laws 
of 4th September, 1841, and 3d March, 1S43; 
and after such party shall have made ac- 
tual settlement for such a length of time 
as will show he designs it for his perma- 
nent home, and is acting in good faith, 
building a house and residing therein, he 
may proceed to the district land office, es- 
tablish his pre-emption claim according to 
law, by proving his actual residence and 
cultivation, and showing that he is other- 
wise within the purview of these acts. — 
Then he can enter the land at $1.25, either 
in cash or with bounty land warrant, unless 
the premises should be $2,50 acre lands. 
In that case the whole purchase-money can 
be paid in cash, or one-half in cash, the 
residue with a bounty land warrant. 

4. But if parties legally qualified desire 
to obtain title under the Homestead Act 
of 20th May, 1862, they can do so on com-

plving with the Department Circular, dated 
80th October, 1862. 

5. The law confines Homestead entries 
to surveyed lands; and although, in cer- 
tain States and Territories noted in the sub- 
joiued list, pre-emptors may go on land be- 
fore survey, yet they can only establish their 
claim after return of survey, but must file 
their pre-emption declaration within three 
months after receipt of official plat, at the 
local land-office where the settlement was 
made before survey. Where, however, it 
was made after survey, the claimant must 
file within three months after date of set- 
tlement ; and where actual residence and 
cultivation have been long enough to show 



that the claimant has made the land his 
permanent home, he can establish his 
claim and pay for the same at any time 
before the date of the public sale of lauds 
within the range in which his settlement 
may fall. 

6. All unoffered surveyed lands not ac- 
quired under pre-emption, homestead, or 
otherwise, under express legal sanction, 
must be offered at public sale under the 
President's Proclamation, and struck off to 
the highest bidder, as required by act of 
April 24, 1820.

will lie. though nothing further was done

of one State will not discharge the insol-

another State. 

27. To prosecute a party with any other 
motive than to bring him to justice, is 
malicious prosecution, and actionable as 
such. 

28. Ministers of the gospel, residing in 
any incorporated town, are not exempt

30. When land trespassed upon is occu- 
pied by a tenant, he alone can bring the 
action. 

40. To say of a person, "If he does not 
come and make terms with me, I will make

is not essential, it is sufficient if the ill- 
ness of the girl, whereby she was unable to 
labor, was produced by shame for the seduc- 
tion ; and this is such a loss of service as 
will sustain the action. 

43. Addressing to a wife a letter contain- 
ing matter defamatory to the character of 
her husband is a publication, and renders 
the writer amenable to damages. 

44. A parent cannot sustain an action for 
any wrong done to a child, unless he has in- 
curred some direct pecuniary injury there- 
from in consequence of some loss of ser- 
vice or expenses necessarily consequent

vant, whilst driving his cart or carriage, 
provided the servant is at the time engaged 
in his master's business, even though the 
accident happens in a place to- which his 
master's business does not call him : but if 
the journey of a servant be solely for a pur- 
pose of his own, and undertaken withr ut 
the knowledge and consent of his master, 
the latter is not responsible.

4S. In ail action for libel against a news- 
paper, extracts from such newspaper may 
be given to show its circulation, and the 
«■ :■. nt (o which the libel has been published. 
The jury, in estimating the damages, are 
to look "at the character of the libel, and 
whether the defendant is rich or poor. The 
plaint ill" is entitled, in all cases, to his ac- 
tual damages, and should be compensated 
for the mental sufferings endured, the pub- 
lic disgrace inflicted, and all actual discom- 
fort produced. 

49. Delivery of a husband's goods by a 
wife to her adulterer, he having knowledge 
that she has taken them without her hus- 
band's authority, is sufficient to sustain an 
indictment for larceny against the adul- 
terer. 

50. The fact that the insurer was not in- 
formed of the existence of impending liti- 
gation, affecting the premises insured, at 
the time the insurance was effected, does 
not vitiate the policy.

contined to personal baggage, but extends 
to all the property of the guest that he con- 
sents to receive. 

52. When a minor executes a contract,

such money or property.

tion been found an habitual drunkard, he 
cannot, even in his sober intervals, make 
contracts to bind himself or his property,

sentative of a deceased person, is presumed, 
in law, to be fully apprized of the extent of 
such representative's authority to act in 
behalf of such estate. 

55. In an action against a railroad com- 
pany, by a passenger, to recover damages 
for i ijuries sustained on the road, it is not 
compulsory upon the plaintiff to prove ac- 
tual negligence in the defendants; but it 
is obligatory on the part of the latter to 
prove that the injury was not owing to any 
fault or negligence of theirs. 

50. A guest is a competent witness, in an 
action between himself and an inn-keeper, 
to prove the character and value . of lost 
pere o nal baggage. Money in a trunk, not 
exceeding the amount reasonably required 
by the traveler to defray the expenses of 
the journey which he has undertaken, is a 
part of his baggage; and in case of its loss, 
while at any inn, the plaintiff may prove its 
amount by his own testimony. 

57. The deed of a minor is not absolutely 
void. The court is authorized to judge, 
from the instrument, whether it is void or 
not, according to its terms being favorable 
or unfavorable to the interests of the minor. 



58. A married woman can neither sue nor 
be sued on any contract made by her dur- 
ing her marriage, except in an action relat- 
ing to her individual property. The action 
must be commenced either by or against 
her husband. It is only when an action 
is brought on a contract made by her be- 
fore her marriage, that she is to be joined 
as a co-plaintiff or defendant, with her hus- 
band. 

59. Any contract made with a person ju- 
dicially declared a lunatic is void. 

60. Money paid voluntarily in any trans- 
action, with a knowledge of the facts, can- 
not be recovered. 

61. In all cases of special contract for ser- 
vices, except in the case of a minor, the 
plaintiff can recover only the amount stip- 
ulated in the contract. 

62. A wife is a competent witness with 
her husband, to prove the contents of a lost 
trunk, or when a party. 

63. A wife cannot be convicted of receiv- 
ing stolen goods when she received them 
of Tier husband. 

64. Insurance against fire, by lightning or 
otherwise, does not cover loss by lightning 
when there is no combustion. 

65. Failure to prove plea of justification, 
in a case of slander, aggravates the offence. 

66. It is the agreement of the parties to 
sell by sample ""that constitutes a sale by 
sample, not the mere exhibition of a speci- 
men of the goods. 

67. An agent is liable to his principals 
for loss caused by his misstatements, tho' 
unintentional. 

68. Makers of promissory notes given in 
advance for premiums on policies of insur- 
ance, thereafter to be taken, are liable there- 
on. 

69. An agreement to pay for procuring an 
appointment to office is void. 

70. An attorney may plead the statute of 
limitations, when sued by a client for mon- 
ey which he has collected and failed to pay 
over. 

71. Testimony given by a deceased wit- 
ness on first trial, is not required to be re- 
peated verbatim on the second. 

72. A person entitling himself to a reward 
offered for lost property, has a lien upon the 
property for the reward ; but only when a 
definite reward is offered. 

73. Confession by a prisoner must be vol- 
untarily made, to constitute evidence against 
him. 

74. The defendant in a suit must be serv- 
ed with process ; but service of such pro- 
cess upon his wife, even in his absence from 
the State, is not, in the absence of statuto- 
ry provisions, sufficient.

75. The measure of damages in trespass 
for catting timber, is its value as a chattel 
on the land where it was felled, and not the 
market price of the lumber manufactured. 

76. To support an indictment for mali- 
cious mischief in killing on animal, mal- 
ice towards its owner must be shown, not 
merely passion excited against the animal 
itself. 

77. No action can be maintained against 
a sheriff for omitting to account for money 
obtained upon an execution within a reas- 
onable time. He has till the return day to 
render such account. 

78. An interest in the profits of an enter- 
prise, as profits, renders the party hold- 
ing it a partner in the enterprise, and 
makes him presumptively liable to share 
any loss. 

79. Males can marry at fourteen, and fe- 
males at twelve years of age. 

B I. All cattle found at large upon any pub- 
lic road, can be driven by any person to the 
public pound. 

81. Any dog chasing, barking, or other- 
wise threatening a passer-by in any street, 
lane, road, or other public thoroughfare, 
may be lawfully killed for the same. 

B2. A written promise for the payment 
of such amount as may come into the hands 
of the promisor, is held to be an instru- 
ment in writing for the payment of money. 

S3. The declaration of an agent is not ad- 
mi -sible to establish the fact of agency. — 
But when other proper evidence fs given, 
tending to establish the fact of agency, it 
i- not error to admit the declarations of the 
agent, accompanying acts, though tend- 
ing to show the capacity in which he act- 
ed. When evidence is competent in one 
respect and incompetent in another, it is 
th? duty of the court to admit it, and con- 
trol its effects by suitable instructions to 
the jury. 

84. The court has a general power to re- 
move or suspend an attorney for such im- 
moral conduct as rendered him unworthy 
of confidence in his official capacity. 

85. Bankruptcy is pleadable in bar to all 
actions and in ail courts, and this bar may 
be avoided whenever it is interposed, by 
s liowing fraud in the procurement of the 
d^eharge, or a violation of any of the pro- 
visions^ the bankrupt act. 

Sf>. An instrument in the form of a deed, 
but limited to take effect at the termination 
of the grantor's natural life, is held to be a 
deed, not a will. 

87. A sale will not be set aside as fraud- 
ulent, simply because the buyer was at the 
time unable to make the payment agreed 
upon, and knew his inability, and did not 
intend to pay. 

88. No man is under an obligation to 
make known his circumstances when he is 
buying goods. 



80. Contracting parties are bound to dis- 
close material facts known to each, but of 
which either supposes the other to be igno- 
rant, only when they stand in some special 
relation of trust and confidence in relation 
to the subject matter of the contract. But 
neither will be protected if he does any- 
thing, however slight, to mislead or deceive 
the other. 

90. A contract negotiated by mail is 
formed when notice of acceptance of the of- 
fer is duly deposited in the post-office, pro- 
perly addressed. This rule applies, although 
the party making the offer expressly re- 
quires that if it is accepted, speedy notice 
of acceptance shall be given him. 

91. The date of an instrument is so far a 
material part of it, that an alteration of 
the date by the holder after execution, 
makes the instrument void. 

92. A corporation may maintain an action 
for libel, for words published of them and 
relating to its trade or business, by which 
it has incurred special damages. 

93. It is unprofessional for a lawyer who 
has abandoned his case without trying it, 
a term or two before trial, to claim a fee 
conditional upon the success of his client, 
although his client was successful. 

94. Although a party obtaining damages 
for injuries received through the default of 
another, was himself guilty of negligence, 
yet that will not defeat his recovery, unless 
his negligence contributed to cause the in- 
jury. 

95. A person may contract to labor for an- 
other during life, in consideration of receiv- 
ing his support ; but his creditors have the 
right to inquire into the intention with 
which such arrangement is made, and it will 
be set aside if entered into to deprive them 
of his future earnings. 

96. A grantor may by express terms ex- 
clude the bed of a river, or a highway, 
mentioned as boundary ; but if without 
language of exclusion a 'line is described as 
1 along/ or ' upon, 1 or as ' running to ' the 
highway or river, or as ' by, 1 or ' running to 
the bank of 1 the river; those expressions 
carry the grantee to the center of the high- 
way or river. 

97. The court will take pains to construe 
the words used in a deed in such a way as 

i to effect the intention of the parties, how- 
! ever unskillfully the instrument may be 
drawn. But a court of law cannot exchange 
an intelligible word plainly employed in a 
I deed for another, however evident it may 
I be that the word used was used by mistake 
' for another. 



98. One who has lost his memory and 
understanding is entitled to legal protec- 
tion, whether such loss is occasioned by 
his own misconduct or by an act of Provi- 
dence.

99. When a wife leaves her husband vol- 
untarily, it must be shown, in order to 
make him liable for necessaries furnished 
to her, that she could not stay with safety. 
Personal violence, either threatened or in- 
flicted, will be sufficient cause for such sep- 
aration. 

100. Necessaries of dress furnished to a 
discarded wife must correspond with the 
pecuniary circumstances of the husband, 
and be such articles as the wife, if prudent, 
would expect, and the husband should 
furnish, if the parties lived harmoniously 
together. 

101. A fugitive from justice from one of the 
United States to another, may be arrested 
and detained in order to his surrender by 
authority of the latter, without a previous 
demand for his surrender by the executive 
of the State whence he fled. 

102. A watch will not pass under a be- 
quest of " wearing apparel," nor of 
" household furniture and articles for fami- 
ly use." 

103. Money paid for the purpose of set- 
tling or compounding a prosecution for a 
supposed felony, cannot be recovered back 
by a party paying it. 

104. An innkeeper is liable for the death 
of an animal in his possession, but may free 
himself from liability by showing that the 
death was not occasioned by negligence on 
his part. 

105. Notice to the agent of a company is 
notice to the company. 

10(5. An employer is not liable to one of 
his employees for an injury sustained by the 
latter in consequence of the neglect of oth- 
ers of his employees engaged in the same 
general business. m 

107. "Where a purchaser at a Sheriff's sale 
has bid the full price of property under 
the erroneous belief that the sale would di- 
vest the property of all liens, it is the duty 
of the court to give relief by setting aside 
the sale. 

108. When notice of protest is properly 
sent by mail, it may be sent by the mail of 
the day of the dishonor; if not, it must be 
mailed" for the mail of the next day ; ex- 
cept that if there is none, or it closes at an 

| unseasonably early hour, then notice must 
I be mailed in season for the next possible 
! mail. 

109. A powder-house located in a populous 
part of a city, and containing large quanti- 
ties of gunpowder, is a nuisance. 

110. When the seller of goods accepts at 
the time of the sale, the note of a third per- 
son, unindorsed by the purchaser, in pay- 
ment, the presumption is that the pay- 
ment was intended to be absolute ; and 
though the note should be dishonored, the 
purchaser will not be liable for the value of 
the goods. 



111. A man charged with crime before a 
committing magistrate, but discharged on 
his own recognizance, is not privileged 
from arrest on civil process while returning 
from the magistrate's office. 

112. When one has been induced to sell 
goods by means of false pretences, he can- 
not recover them from one who has bona 
fide purchased and obtained possession of 
them from the fraudulent vendor. 

113. If the circumstances attendant upon 
a sale and delivery of personal property are 
such as usually and naturally accompany 
such a transaction, it cannot be declared a 
legal fraud upon creditors. 

114. A stamp impressed upon an instru- 
ment by way of seal, is good as a seal, if it 
creates a durable impression in the texture 
of the paper. 

115. If a party bound to make a payment 
use due diligence to make a tender, but 
through the payee's absence from home is 
unable to find him or any agent authorized 
to take payment for him, no forfeiture will 
be incurred through his failure to make a 
tender.

The sections are all divided in quarters, 
which are named by the cardinal points, 
as in section one. 'The quarters are divi-

a 40 acre lot would read: The south half 
of the west half of the southwest quarter 
of section!, in township 24, north of range 
7 west, or as the case might be ; and some- 
times will fall short, and sometimes overrun 
the number of acres it is supposed to con-

DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

THE DECIMAL SYSTEM 



OF 



WEIGHTS AND MEASURES* 

As AaUoiM 5y Act of Congress-Approved July 28, \m 



STANDARDS. 

In every system of Weights and Measures 
it is necessary to have what are called 
"■Standards,'''' as the pound, yard, gallon, 
&c, to be divided and multiplied into 
smaller and larger parts and denominations. 
The definition and construction of these 
Standards involve philosophical and scien- 
tific principles of a somewhat abstruse 
character, and are made and procured by 
the legislative department of the govern- 
ment. The nominal Standards in the new 
system are the Meter, the Are, the Liter, 
and the Gram. The only real Standard, the 
one by which all the other standards are 
measured, and from which the system de- 
rives its name of " Metric, 1 ' is the Meter. 

THE METER 
Is used for all measures of length, distance, 
breadth, depth, heighth, &c, and was in- 
tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- 
millionth of the distance on the earth'B 
surface from the equator to the pole. It is 
about 39% inches, or 3 feet, 3 inches and 
3 eighths, and is to be substituted for the 
yard. 

THE ARE 
Is a surface whose side is ten Meters, and 
is equal to 100 square Meters or about 4 
square rods. 

THE LITER 
Is the unit for measuring solids and eapa- 
ity, and is equal to the contents of a cube 
whose edge is one-tenth of a meter. It is 
about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in 
cubic, dry and liquid measures. 
D 



JEP~ A cubic Mete* (orEiloliter) is called 
a stere, and is also used as a standard in cer- 
tain cubic measures. 

THE GRAM 

Is the Unit of weight, and is the weight of 
a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube 
being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is 
about equal to 15^ grains. It is intended 
as the Standard in au weights, and with its 
divisions and multiples, to supersede the 
use of what are now called Avoirdupois, 
Apothecaries and Troy Weights. 

Each of the foregoing Standards is divi- 
ded decimally, and larger units are also 
formed by multiples of 10, 100, &c. The 
successive subordinate parts are designa- 
ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi and Milli ; 
the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, 
Kilo and Myria ; each having its own nu- 
merical, signification, as will be more clear- 
ly seen in the tables hereinafter given. 

The terms used may, at first sight, have 
a formidable appearance, seem difficult to 
pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to 
be,, therefore > objectionable ; but with a lit- 
tle attention and use, the apprehended dif- 
ficulty will be found more apparent than 
real, as has been abundantly proved by ex- 
perience/ The importance, also, of con- 
formity in the use of commercial terms, on 
the part of the United States, with the 
practice of the many nations in which the 
system, with its present ncnnenclature, has 
already been adopted, must greatly over- 
balance the comparatively slight objection 
alluded to.

Acts and Resolutions of Congress. 

PUBLIC -No. 183. 

AN ACT to authorize the use of the metric 
system of weights and measures. 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of 
Representatives of the United States of Ameri- 
ca in Congress assembled, That from and af- 
ter the passage of this act, it shall he law- 
ful throughout the United States of Ameri- 
ca to employ the weights and measures of 
the metric system ; and no contract or deal- 
ing, or pleading in any court, shall he 
deemed invalid or liahle to objection, be- 



cause the weights or measures expressed or 
referred to therein are weights or measures 
of the metric system. 

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That 
the tables in the schedule hereto annexed, 
shall be recognized in the construction of 
contracts, and in all legal proceedings, as 
establishing, in terms of the weights and 
measures now in use in the United States, 
the equivalents of the weights and meas- 
ures expressed therein in terms of the me- 
tric system ; and said tables may be lawful- 
ly used for computing, determining and ex- 
pressing, in customary weights and meas- 
ures, the weights and measures of the metric 
system.

Discount and Premium. 

When a person buys an article for $1,00— 
20 per cent off, (or discount,) and sells it 
again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per 
cent, on his investment. Thus : He pays 
80 cents and sells for $1,00— a gain of 20 
cents, or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for 
any transaction where the sale or purchase 
of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, 
the following rules will apply in all cases. 

Rule 1st.— To find premium when dis- 
count is given: Multiply 100 by rate of 
discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis- 
count. 

Rule 2d.— To find discount when pre- 
mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest 
by 100, and divide by 100, plus the rate of 
premium. 

Suppose A has $140 in currency, which 
he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold 
is 27 per cent, premium, how much gold 
should he receive ? In this case the pre- 
mium is given, consequently we must find 
the discount on A's currency and subtract 
it from the $140, as per rule 2d, showing 
the discount to be a trifle more than 21 per 
cent, and that he should receive $110.60 in 
gold.

Facts on Advertising. 

The advertisements in an ordinary num- 
ber of the London Times exceed 2,500. The 
annual advertising bills of one London firm 
are said to amount to $200,000 : and three 
others are mentioned who each annually 
expend for the purpose $50,000. The ex- 
pense for advertising the eight editions of 
the " Encyclopedia Britannia" is said to 
have been $15,000. 



In large cities nothing is more common 
than to see large business establishments, 
which seem to nave an immense advantage 
over all competitors, by the wealth, expe- 
rience, and prestige they have acquired, 
drop gradually out of public view, and be 
succeeded by firms of a smaller capital, 
more energy, and more determined to have 
the fact that they sell such and such com- 
modities known from one end of the land to 
the other. In other words, the establish- 
ments advertise ; the old die of dignity.— 
The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- 
scurity into publicity; the latter believe 
that their publicity is so obvious that it 
cannot be obscured. The first understand 
that they must thrust themselves upon 
public attention, or be disregarded; the 
second, having once obtained public atten- 
tion, suppose they have arrested it perma- 
nently; while, in fact, nothing is more char- 
acteristic of the world than the ease with 
which it forgets. 

Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder 
business man ever lived, used to say : I 
have always considered advertising liber- 
ally and long to be the great medium of 
success in business, and the prelude to 
wealth. And I have made it an invariable 
rule too, to advertise in the dullest times 
as well as the busiest ; long experience 
having taught me that money thus spent is 
well laid out ; as by keeping my business 
continually before the public it has secured 
me many sales that I would otherwise have 
lost.

Brilliant Whitewash. 

Many have heard of the brilliant stucco 
whitewash on the east end of the Presi- 
dent's house at Washington. The follow- 
ing is a recipe for it ; it is gleaned from the 
National Intelligencer, with some addi- 
tional improvements learned by experi- 
ments : Take half a bushel of nice un- 
elacked lime, slack it with boiling water, 
cover it during the process to keep in the 
steam. Strain the liquid through a fine 
6ieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of 
salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa- 
ter ; three pounds of ground rice, boiled to 
a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half 
a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and 
a pound of clean glue, which has been pre- 
viously dissolved by soaking it well, and 
then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small 
kettle within a large one filled with water. 
Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, 
stir it well, and let it stand a few days cov- 
ered from the dirt. 

It should be put on right hot ; for this 
purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a 
portable furnace. It is said that about a 
pint of this mixture will cover a square 
yard upon the outside of a house if proper- 
ly applied. Brushes more or less small may 
be used according to the neatness of the job 
required. It answers as well as oil paint 
for wood, brick or scone, and is cheaper. 
It retains its brilliancy for many years. 
There is nothing of the kind that will 
compare with it, either for inside or outside 
walls. 

Coloring matter may be put in and made 
of any shade you like. Spanish brown 
stirred in will make red pink, more or less 
deep according to the quantity. A delicate 
tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. 
Fineiv pulverized common clay, well mixed 
with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone 
color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- 
low wash, bnt chrome goes further, and 
makes a color generally esteemed prettier. 
In all these cases the darkness of the shades 
of course is determined by the quantity of 
coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, 
because tastes are different. It would be 
best to try experiments on a shingle and let 
it dry. We have been told that green must 
not be mixed with lime. The lime de- 
stroys the color, and the color has an effect 
on the whitewash, which makes it crack 
and peel. When walls have been badly 
smoked, and you wish to have them a elean 
white, it is well to squeeze indigo plenti- 
fully through a bag into the water you use, 
before it is stirred in the whole mixture. 
If a larger quantity than five gallons be 
wanted, the same proportion should be ob- 
served. 

How to get a Horse out of a 
Fire. 

The great difficulty of getting horses from 
a stable where surrounding buildings are in 
a state of conflagation, is well known.— 
The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- 
ket will not always succeed. 

A gentleman whose horses have been in 
great peril from such a cause, having tried 



in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- 
ent of having them harnessed as though go- 
ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- 
ishment, they were led from the stable 
without difficulty. 



The Chemical Barometer. 

Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- 
fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put 
into it two and a half drachms of camphor, 
and eleven drachms of spirits of wine ; 
when the camphor is dissolved, which it 
will readily do by slight agitation, add the 
following mixture: Take water, nine 
drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) 
thirty-eight grains; and muriate of am- 
monia (sal ammoniac) thirty-eight grains. 
Dissolve these salts in the water prior to 
mixing with the camphorated spirit ; then 
shake the whole well together. Cork the 
bottle well, and wax the top, but after- 
wards make a very small aperture in the 
cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may 
then be hung up, or placed in any stationa- 
ry position. By observing the different 
appearances which the materials assume, 
as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- 
cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or 
of a sunny sky. 



Leech Barometer. 

Take an eight ounce phial, and put in it 
three gills of water, and place in it a healthy 
leech, changing the water in summer once 
a week, and in winter once in a fortnight, 
and it will most accurately prognosticate 
the weather. If the weather is to be fine, 
the leech lies motionless at the bottom of 
the glass and coiled together in a spiral 
form ; if rain may be expected, it will creep 
up to the top of its lodgings and remain 
there till the weather is settled ; if we are 
to have wind, it will move through its habi- 
tation with amazing swiftness, and seldom 
goes to rest till it begins to blow hard ; if a 
remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to 
succeed, it will lodge for some days before 
almost continually out of the water, and 
discover great uneasiness in violent throes 
and convulsive-like motions ; in frost as in 
clear gummer-like weather it lies constantly 
at the bottom ; and in snow as in rainy 
weather it pitches its dwelling in the very 
mouth of the phial. The top should be cov- 
ered over with a piece of muslin. 



To Measure Grain in a Bin.— Find the 
number of cubic feet, from which deduct 
one-fifth. The remainder is the number of 
bushels — allowing, however, one bushel 
extra to every 224. Thus in a remainder of 
224 there would be 225 bushels. In a re- 
mainder of 448 there would be 450 bushels, 
&c.

VALUABLE RECIPES. 



[The following recipes are vouched for hy 
several who have tried them and proven 
their virtues. Many of them have been sold 
singly for more than the price of this 
book.— Pub.] 

HORSES. 

Ring Bone and Spavin.— 2 oz. each of 
Spanish flies and Venice turpentine; 1 oz. 
each of aqua ammonia and euphorbium : % 
oz. red precipitate ; }& oz. coirosive subli- 
mate ; IX lbs. lard. When thoroughly pul- 
verized and mixed, heat carefully so as not 
to burn, and pour off free from sediment. 

For ring-bone, rub in thoroughly, after 
removing hair, once in 48 hours. For spav- 
in, once in 24 hours. Cleanse and press 
out the matter on each application. 

Poll-Evil.— Gum arabic K oz ; common 
potash ^ oz ; extract of belladonna # dr. 
Put the gum in just enough water to dis- 
solve it. Pulverize the potash and mix 
with the dissolved gum, and then put in the 
extract of belladonna,and it will be ready for 
use. Use with a syringe after having 
cleansed with soap suds, and repeat once 
in two days till a cure is affected. 

Scours. — Powdered tormentil root, giv- 
en in milk, from 3 to 5 times daily till cured. 

Grease-Heel and Scratches.— Sweet 
oil 6 ozs.; borax 2 ozs.; sugar of lead 2 ozs. 
Wash off with dish water, and, after it is 
dry, apply the mixture twice a day. 

Cholic in Horses.— To X pt. of warm 
water add 1 oz. laudanum and 3 ozs. spirits 
of turpentine, and repeat the dose in about 
X of an hour, adding % oz. powdered aloes, 
if not relieved. 

Bots— Three doses. 1st. 2 qts milk and 
1 of molasses. 2d. 15 minutes after, 2 qts. 
warm sage tea. 3d. After the expiration 
of 30 minutes, sufficient lard to physic- 
Never fails. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 

Piles— Perfectly Cured.— Take flour of 
sulphur 1 oz., rosin 3 ozs., pulverize and mix 
well together. (Color with carmine or 
cochineal, if you like.) Dose— What will 
lie on a five cent piece, night and morning, 
washing the parts freely in cold water once 
or twice a day. This is a remedy of great 
value. 

The cure will be materially hastened by 
taking a table-spoon of sulphur in a half 
pint of milk, daily, until the cure is affected. 

Sure Cure for Corns, Warts and 
Chilblains.— Take of nitric and muriatic 
acids, blue vitriol and salts of tartar, 1 oz. 
each. Add the blue vitriol, pulverized, to 
either of the acids; add the salts of tartar 
in the same way ; when done foaming, add 
the other acid, and in a few days it will be 
ready for use. For chilblains and corns 
apply it very lightly with a swab, and re- 
peat in a day or two until cured. For warts, 
once a week, until they disappear. 

Hoof- Ail in Sheep.— Mix 2 ozs. each of 
butter of antimony and muriatic acid with 
1 oz. cf pulverized white vitriol, and apply 
once or twice a week to the bottom of the 
foot. 

Common Rheumatism.— Kerosene oil 2 
ozs.; neats-foot oil 1 oz.; oil of organum % 
oz. Shake when used, and rub arid heat in 
twice daily. 

Vert Fine Soap, Quicklt and Cheap- 
ly Made.— Fourteen pounds of bar soap 
in a half a boiler of hot water ; cut up fine ; 
add three pounds of sal-soda made fine; 
one ounce of pulverized rosin ; stir it often 
till all is dissolved ; just as you take it off 
the fire, put in two table-spoonfuls of spirits 
of turpentine and one of ammonia ; pour it 
in a barrel, and fill up with cold soft water ; 
let it stand three or four days before using. 
It is an excellent soap for washing clothes, 
extracting the dirt readily, and not fading 
colored articles. 



VAL TJABLE BECIPES. 



61 



Water Proof for Leather. — Take lin- 
seed oil 1 pint, yellow wax and white tur- 
pentine ea'ch 2 oze. Burgundy pitch 1 oz., 
melt and color with lampblack. 

To Keep Cider Sweet.— Put into each 
barrel, immediately after making, % lb. 
ground mustard, 2 oz. ealt and 2 oz. pulver- 
lzed chalk. Stir them in a little cider, pour 
them into the barrel, and shake up well. 

Ague Cure. -Procure \% table-spoons of 
fresh mandrake root juice, (by pounding) 
and mix with the same quantity of molas- 
ses, and take in three equal doses, 2 hours 
a part, the whole to be taken 1 hour before 
the chill comes on. Take a swallow of 
some good bitters before meals, for a couple 
of weeks after the chills are broken, and the 
cure will be permanent. 

Cure for Salt Rheum or Scurvy. — 
Take of the pokeweed, any time in sum- 
mer ; pound it ; press out the juice ; strain 
it into a pewter dish; set it in the sun till it 
becomes a salve— then put it into an earth- 
en mug ; add to it fresh water and bees' 
wax sufficient to make an ointment of com- 
mon consistency ; simmer the whole over 
a fire till thoroughly mixed. When cold, 
rub the part affected. The patient will al- 
most immediately experience its good ef- 
fects, and the most obstinate cases will be 
cured in three or four months. Tested. — 
The juice of the ripe berries may be pre- 
pa red in the same way. 

Superior Paint— for Brick Houses.— 
To lime whitewash, add for a fastener, sul- 
phate of zinc, and shade with any color you 
choose, as yellow ochre, Venetian red, etc. 
It outlasts oil paint. 



Felons.— Stir 1 oz. of Venice turpentino 
with % tea-spoonful of water, till it looks 
like candied honey, and apply by spreading 
upon cloth and wrapping around the finger. 
If not too long delayed will cure in 6 hours. 

A poke root poultice is also said to be a 
sure remedy. 

Water Proof Blacking and Harness 
Polish.— Take two and a half ounces gum 
shellac and half a pint of alcohol, and set 
in a warm place until dissolved ; then add 
two and a half ounces Venice turpentine 
to neutralize the alcohol ; add a tablespoon- 
ful of lampblack. Apply with a fine sponge. 
It will give a good polish over oil or grease. 

Mosquitos.— To get rid of these tormen- 
tors, take a few hot coals on a shovel, or a 
chafing dish, and burn upon them some 
brown sugar in your bed-rooms and parlors, 
and you effectually banish or destroy every 
mosquito for the night. 

Cheap Outside Paint.— Take two parts 
(in bulk) of water lime ground fine, one part 
(in bulk) of white lead ground in oil. Mix 
them thoroughly, by adding best boiled lin- 
seed oil, enough to prepare it to pass through 
a paint mill, after which temper with oil 
till it can be applied with a common paint 
brush. Make any color to suit. It will last 
three times as long as lead paint, and cost 
not one-fourth as much. It is Superior. 

Cure for a Cough. — A strong decoction 
of the leaves of the pine, sweetened with 
loaf sugar. Take a wine-glass warm on go- 
ing to bed, and half an hour before eating, 
three times a day. The above is sold as a 
cough 6yrup, and is doing wonderful cures, 
and it is sold at a great profit to the manu- 
facturers. 



How to Judge a Horse. 

A correspondent, contrary to old maxims, 
undertakes to judge the character of a horse 
by outward appearances, and offers the fol- 
lowing suggestions, the result of his close 
observation and long experience : 

If the color be light sorrell, or chestnut, 
his feet, legs and face white, these are 
marks of kindness. If he is broad and full 
between the eyes, he may be depended on 
as a horse of good sense, and capable of be- 
ing trained to anything. 

As respects such horses, the more kindly 
you treat them the better you will be treat- 
ed in return. Nor will a horse of this de- 
scription stand a whip, if well fed. 

If you want a safe horse, avoid one that 
is dish-faced. He may be so far gentle as 
not to scare ; but he will have too much go- 
ahead in him to be safe with everybody. 

If you want a fool, but a horse of great 
bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white 
hair about him. If his face is a little dish- 
ed, so much the worse. Let no man ride 
such a horse that is not an adept in riding 
— they are always tricky and unsafe. 



If you want one that will never give out, 
never buy a large, overgrown one. 

A black horse cannot stand heat, nor a 
white one cold. 

If you want a gentle horse, get one with 
more or less white about the head; the 
more the better. Many persons suppose 
the parti-colored horses belonging to the 
circuses, shows, &c, are selected for their 
oddity. But the selections thus made are 
on account of their great docility and gen- 
tleness. 



Measurement of Hay In the 
Mow or Stack,— It is often desirable, 
where conveniences for weighing are not at 
hand, to purchase and sell hay by measure- 
ment. It is evident that no fixed rule will 
answer in all cases, as it would require 
more cubic feet at the top of a mow than at 
the bottom. The general rule adopted by 
those who have tested it, is 1)4 cubic feet of 
solid Timothy hay, as taken from mow or 
bottom of stack. The rule may be varied 
for upper part of mow or stack according 
to pressure.

CHEMUNG COUNTY. 63 



CHEMUNG COUNTY. 



THIS COUNTY was formed from Tioga, March 29, 1836, 

and took its name from the principal river, Chemung, which signi- 
fies " Big Horn," or " Horn in the Water." This name was given 
to the river on account of the immense number of deer's horns 
which were found in the water. A part of Schuyler County was 
taken off in 1854. It lies upon the south border of the State, is 
centrally distant 158 miles from Albany, and contains 406 square 
miles. The surface is principally a hilly upland, broken by the 
deep ravines of the streams. The highest points are from 400 to 
600 feet above the valleys and from 1300 to 1500 feet above tide. 
The ridges extend in a general north and south direction, and have 
steep declivities, in some places precipitous and broad rolling sum- 
mits. A deep valley, extending south from Seneca Lake, divides 
the highlands into two general systems, and forms an easy commu- 
nication between the Susquehanna Valley and the central parts of 
the State. 

The Chemung River flows south-east through the south part of the 
County, cutting the highlands diagonally. Wide alluvial flats ex- 
tend along the river through nearly its whole course. These flats 
are bordered by steep hillsides, and are very productive. Catha- 
rine Creek flows north through the central valley into Seneca Lake. 
The other streams are Post, Sing Sing, Newtown, Goldsmith, Wyn- 
koops and Cayuta Creeks, from the north ; and Hendy and Seely 
Creeks from the south ; all flowing into Chemung River. The val- 
leys of these streams are generally narrow, and bordered by steep 
hills. The valleys of the smaller streams are mere ravines and 
gulleys. 



6 4 CHEMUNG COUNTY. 



The rocks of the County belong chiefly to the shales and sand- 
stones of the Chemung group. In the north part, along the ravines, 
the rocks of the Portage group are exposed. In several places the 
sandstone is quarried for building purposes, and for flagging, and is 
of an excellent quality. Bog iron ore and marl are found to some 
extent. The soil is a sandy and gravelly loam, intermixed with 
clay in some places. The valleys are covered with a rich deep al- 
luvium. The highlands are better adapted to grazing than to 
tillage. 

Agriculture is the chief pursuit of the inhabitants. For many 
years lumbering was carried on to a great extent, 10,000,000 feet 
being floated down the Chemung and Susquehanna, from Elmira, 
annually. Since the disappearance of the fine forests, the attention 
of the people has been turned to stock raising, dairying and wool 
growing. Commerce and manufactures have received increased 
attention since the completion of the canals and railroads, though 
these are still subordinate to the agricultural interest. 

The County seat is located at Elmira, on Chemung River. Up- 
on the organization of Tioga County, Elmira, then "Newtown," was 
made half-shire, and upon the formation of Chemung Co., in 1836, 
it was designated as the County seat, and the old county buildings 
were taken for the new County. The first county officers were 
Joseph L. Darling, First Judge ; Andrew G. Gregg, District Attor- 
ney, Isaac Baldwin, County Clerk; Albert A. Beckwith, Sheriff; 
and Lyman Covill, Surrogate. The old county buildings have with- 
in a few years given place to new and commodious structures. 

The County Poor House is located upon a farm in the south- 
east part of the town of Horseheads. The whole number of pau- 
pers present from November 6th, 1866, to November 6th, 1867, 
was 166. The average number kept for the year was 63, at an av- 
erage expense of $1.49 per week each. The whole amount ex- 
pended for the support of the poor during the year was $4,904.50. 

The Chemung Canal extends south from Seneca Lake, through 
the central valley, to Chemung River, at Elmira, forming a direct 
connection with the great chain of internal water navigation of the 
State. A navigable feeder from Corning, Steuben County, forms a 
junction with the canal, on the summit, at Horseheads village. 
Junction Canal extends several miles along the Chemung, affording 
navigation at points where the river is obstructed by rapids and nar- 
rows. The Chemung Canal was authorized kpril 15th, 1829, and its 
construction was begun the same year, and finished in 1833. The 
total lockages on the Canal and feeder are 516 feet, by fifty-three 
locks, and the original cost was $344,000. 

The New York & Erie R. R. extends along Chemung River, 
through Chemung, Southport, Elmira and Big Flats. The Chemung 



CHEMUNG COUNTY. 65 



R. R. extends north from Elmira, through Horseheads and Veteran. 
The Williamsport and Elmira R. R. extends south, through South- 
port, into Pennsylvania, forming a direct line to Philadelphia. 

The first newspaper published in the County was 

The Telegraph, at " Newtown," (now Elmira.) It was issued at 
an early period by Prindle & Murphy. In 1816 it was issued as 

The Vidette, and subsequently issued by William Murphy. 

The Investigator was started at Elmira, in 1820, by Job Smith. 
In 1822 its name was changed to 

The Tioga Register, and in 1828, to 

THE ELMIRA GAZETTE. Its publication was continued by Mr. 
Smith, until 1831, when he was succeeded by Brinton Paine. It was 
published successively by Cyrus Pratt, Pratt & Beardsly, Mason & 
Rhodes, George W. Mason, Wm. C. Rhodes, S. C. Taber, F. A. 
DeVoe, F. A. DeVoe & Son, F. A. DeVoe and C< Hazard, when 
it passed into the handsof L. A. & C. Hazard, its present publish- 
ers. 

THE ELMIRA DAILY GAZETTE, which has now reached its 
tenth volume, is published at the same office and by the same pro- 
prietors. 

The Elmira Republican was started in 1820, and in 1828 was 
changed to 

The Elmira Whig, and published by James Durham. In 1829 
it was again changed to 

The Elmira Republican, and was issued by C. Morgan. It was 
soon after called 

The Elmira Republican and Canal Advertiser. In 1831 it passed 
into the hands of John Duffy, and its name was changed back to 

The Elmira Republican. It was subsequently published, success- 
ively, by Birdsell & Huntley, Ransom & Birdsell, Polly & Carter, 
Polly & Cook, Polly & Huntley, S. B. & G. C. Fairman, G. C. 
Fairman, Fairman & Baldwin, Baldwin & Dumas, and a Mr. Cal- 
houn, until 1857, when it was discontinued. 

The Elmira Daily Republican was issued a short time in 1846. 

The Daily Republican was issued from the Republican office from 
the fall of 1851 to 1855. 

THE ELMIRA DAILY ADVERTISER was started in 1853 
by S. B. & G. C. Fairman. F. A. DeVoe, subsequently purchased 
an interest in the paper ; upon his retirement, L. Caldwell purchased 
an interest. After several changes it passed into the hands of S. B. 
Fairman and L. Caldwell, by whom it was published until the death 
of Mr. Fairman. It is now published by the survivors of the firm. 

THE ELMIRA WEEKLY ADVERTISER was started at the 
same time as the Daily, and is issued by the same proprietors. 

The Elmira Daily Democrat was issued a short time in 1851, by 
J. Taylor and S.C. Taber. 



66 CHEMUNG COUNTY. 



The Chemung Patriot was published in 1837, at Horseheads, by 
J. T. Bradt. 

The Philosopher was commenced at Horseheads April 7, 1855, 
by Samuel C. Taber, and was continued until 1857, when it was 
merged in The Elmira Gazette. 

The Chemung County Republican was issued during the campaign 
of 1856, edited by Florus B. Plimpton. 

The Daily Press was started in 1859 by Dumas, VanGelder & 
Paine. It was subsequently discontinued. 

The Temperance Gem (monthly,) was published at Elmira about 
1850. 

THE HORSEHEADS JOURNAL was started in April 1866, 
by S. C. Clisbe and Charles Hinton. It is a weekly paper and now 
published by Charles Hinton. 

The expedition of Gen. John Sullivan against the Indians in 
1779, passed through this County. This expedition was organized 
for the special purpose of chastising the Indians and Tories, who, 
led by Brant and the Butlers, had been laying waste the settle- 
ments of the whites, plundering and burning their houses, murder- 
ing or carrying into captivity men, women and children, without 
regard to age, sex or condition. The most effectual way to check 
these barbarous incursions was supposed to be to send an army 
through the territory of the Six Nations, and, by fire and sword, 
teach them the power against which they were contending. The 
army of General Sullivan assembled at Tioga Point, August 22d, 
consisting of the brigades of Generals Clinton, Hand, Maxwell and 
Poor, together with Proctor's artillery and a corps of riflemen; 
numbering in all about five thousand men. The march from Tioga 
Point was commenced August 26th. The movement of the expe- 
dition had been so slow that the enemy were prepared to receive 
them. A short distance from Conwawah, where the city of Elmira 
now stands, and where the Indians had a considerable village, the 
enemy had thrown up works and were prepared to make a bold 
stand against the invaders. The Americans moved cautiously up 
the Chemung, having large flanking parties thrown out to guard 
against surprise by the enemy. On the march they destroyed a 
small Indian village, and on the 29th they discovered the enemy's 
works. The enemy were securely posted upon the east side of the 
river, upon a bend in the stream, which protected their right flank 
and rear, while their left rested upon a high ridge, which extended 
for some distance nearly parallel with the river. The artificial de- 
fences of the enemy, consisting of fallen trees whose branches were 
clothed with foliage, together with the shrubs of oak and pine grow- 
ing upon the ground, afforded a good protection against the attacks 
of the Americans. A vigorous attack in front was made by one 
division, while another attempted to turn the left flank of the enemy

posted upon the ridge. For two hours the firing was incessant, 
the Indians fighting behind the shrubs and thickets, cheered on by 
their leader, Brant, who appeared at all points, at length became 
demoralized by the artillery, and Brant, seeing that the day was 
lost, raised the loud retreating cry, Oonah! Oonah! and savages 
and Tories hastily retreated across the river, pursued by the Amer- 
icans. Considering the time occupied by the battle the loss was 
very small. Only five or six of the Americans were killed, and 
forty or fifty wounded ; some authorities setting the number even 
less" than that. Nine Indians were found dead upon the field, the 
rest of the dead and wounded being carried off in the retreat. Sul- 
livan's army rested upon the battle field that night, and the next 
morning continued their march towards Catharinestown. The 
march was a difficult and dangerous one, lying along a deep, nar- 
row valley, traversed by a stream so tortuous that it had to be 
crossed several times, in some instances where the water was up 
to the waist. The enemy might have rallied upon the hills and 
greatly annoyed, if not destroyed or captured the invading foe ; 
but the Indians had become so alarmed at the artillery that they 
cculd not be induced to make a stand. The army arrived at Cath- 
arinestown September 2d, but found the village deserted, its in- 
habitants having fled in terror. The village and fields were des- 
troyed by the Americans the next day. From this point the work 
of destruction was carried on without interruption; fields of corn, 
orchards of apples, pears and peaches, the growth of many years, 
fell before the hands of the invaders. The threat of Gen. Sullivan 
was fully carried out. " The Indians shall see," said he, " that 
there is malice enough in our hearts to destroy everything that con- 
tributes to their support." The Cayugas and Senecas had made 
considerable progress in civilization, had large villages, and culti- 
vated fields and orchards, and their houses exhibited many of the 
indications of civilized life. So great was the destruction and de- 
vastation made that the Indians afterwards called Washington 
" The Town Destroyer," fully understanding that the expedition 
was made by his order. Gen. Sallivan did not proceed to Niagara, 
as he at first intended, but after reaching the Genesee Valley, .re- 
turned. The army arrived in the valley of Catharine's Creek, on 
the return march, September 24th, and the forage becoming short, 
Gen. Sullivan ordered a large number of the horses killed. The 
skulls of these animals being afterwards placed along the road, 
gave the name to the village in the vicinity, and subsequently to 
the town. The next morning the news was received of a declara- 
tion of war by Spain against Great Britain, and the occasion was 
celebrated with every demonstration of joy. Five oxen were 
killed, one delivered to each brigade, and one to the artillery and 
staff, with which to make merry.

CHEXUNG COUNTY. 



A portion of this County was included in the Watkins & Flint 
Tract, which embraced also parts of Schuyler and Tompkins. The 
southern part of the County was included in a Royal grant made 
previous to the Revolutionary war. It was surveyed in 1788, by 
Commissioners of the Land Office, James Clinton, J. Hathorn and 
J. Cantine, as Chemung Township, and embraced 205 lots. 

The first settlements were made in 1788-90, by emigrants from 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, most of whom were with General 
Sullivan in his expedition against the Indians. They settled along 
the valley of the Chemung River, at Elmira, Southport and Big 
Flats. The early settlers were subject to the usual hardships and 
privations incident to a new country. Through energy and perse- 
verance the wilderness became a fruitful field, roads and bridges 
were built and the luxuries of civilized life were placed within the 
reach of all. Canals and railroads were subseqently built, opening 
avenues to the east and west, giving them an easy and rapid com- 
munication with all the great thoroughfares and business centers of 
the country. Manufacturing was introduced, giving employment to 
a large number of persons, and now the County is one of the most 
prosperous in the State. 

When the news of the fall of Fort Sumter, and the Proclama- 
tion of the President calling for volunteers, flashed across the wires 
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the loyal sons of Chemung rallied 
to the support of the old Flag, showing that they were not unwor- 
thy sons of illustrious sires, who fought to establish the Govern- 
ment which they were now called upon to defend against armed 
treason .and rebellion. It is to be regretted that we have not the 
statistics at hand to show how many from this County served in the 
war against the Rebellion. Since we are unable to do this, it must 
suffice to say that Chemung was not behind the other counties in 
furnishing men and means, as the battle fields and prison pens of 
the South abundantly testify. Amid the excitements of party 
strife, men may forget their duty to their country, but its brave 
defenders will live in the hearts of all true and loyal citizens ; and 
as the record of their deeds shall be transmitted from generation to 
generation, it will form a more enduring monument than the most 
imperishable marble. As we now honor the founders of the Re- 
public, SO will future generations honor its defenders.

ASITLAND was formed from Southport, Elmira and Che- 
mung, in April 1867. It lies upon the south border of the County, 
on both sides of Chemung River. Broad, fertile, alluvial flats border 
the river, and in other portions of the town the surface is a hilly up- 
land. South and Seely Creeks are the principal tributaries of Che- 
mung River in this town. The soil upon the hills is a slaty loam, 
and in the valleys a fine quality of gravelly loam. 

Wellsburgh, (p. v.) situated in the north-east part of the town, 
on Chemung River, contains two churches and several manufactur- 
ing establishments. It is a station on the N. Y. & E. R. R., and 
contains about 500 inhabitants. 

Lowmanville (Lowman p. o.) is a hamlet, east of the center. 

The first settlement was made at Wellsburgh, in 1788^. by Green 
Bently. Abner and Henry Wells settled at the same place the 
next year. It is believed that the following persons settled within 
the limits of this town at an early day, viz: Ebenezer Green, Abi- 
jah Batterson, Samuel Westbrook, Abraham Bennett, Asa Burn- 
liam, Abiel Fry and Thomas Kenny. 

The first birth was that of Eunice Kelsey, and the first death 
that of Stephen Kent. The first school was taught by Caleb Ba- 
ker ; the first inn was kept by William Baldwin, and the first store 
by William and Henry Wells, at Wellsburgh. The first church 
(Bap.) was formed in 1790, by Rev. Roswell Goflf, the first 
preacher. 

This town contains an area of 8,750 acres. 

There are four school districts, employing five teachers. The 
whole number of persons between the ages of five and twenty-one 
years, during the last year, was 270, and the average attendance at 
school 103. The amount expended for school purposes was $1,- 
009.86.

BALD WIN was formed from Chemung, April 7th, 1856. 
It is situated south-east of the center of the County, a narrow strip 
extending to the east border between the towns of Chemung and 
VanEtten. The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the deep val- 
leys of Baldwin and Wynkoop's Creeks. The soil is a shaly and 
clayey loam upon the hills, and in the valleys a gravelly loam. 

Hammond's Corners (North Chemung p. o.) contains a church, 
a tannery and about twenty houses. 

The first settlement was made in 1813, a little north of the vil- 
lage, by Henry Sice. Warren and Charles Granger settled at the 
village in 1814. The town received its name from Baldwin Creek, 
which received its name from Isaac, Walter and Thomas Baldwin, 
brothers, who settled at the mouth of the Creek. It was previous- 
ly called Butler's Creek. The Baldwins were members of General 
Sullivan's expedition against the Indians in 1779, and Walter was 
wounded at the battle of Newtown. 

The first child born was Simeon Hammond, and the first death 
was that of Thomas Wheeler, killed by the falling of a tree. The 
first school was taught by Polly Blandin, a short distance north of 
the village. D. R. Harris kept the first inn, and Miles Covel the 
first store, north of the village. The first church (Union,) was 
formed in 1852 by Dr. Murdock, the first preacher. 

In 1865 the population of this town was 923, and its area 15,909 
acres. 

There are eight school districts, employing eight teachers. The 
number of persons of school age during the last year was 328, the 
average attendance 105, and the amount expended for school pur- 
poses $1,745.88. 

BIG FLATS was formed from El mira, April 16th, 1822. 
It takes its name from the large flats extending through the to vn 
near the center. It lies upon the west border of the County, south 
of the center. The surface consists of a broken upland in the north 
and south, separated by a broad flat, which extends north-east of 
the Chemung River, through the center of the town. The Che- 
mung has several tributaries from the north, the principal of which 
is Sing Sing Creek. Upon the hills the soil is a slaty loam, and in 
the valleys a gravelly loam, very productive. Tobacco is raised to 
some extent upon the flats. The cultivation of this was commenced 
in 1850, by Sanford Elmore, from Connecticut, and since that its 
cultivation has been continued. In 1867, Mr. Mundy raised about 
twenty acres, averaging about 1500 pounds to the acre. It was 
sold at an average price of fifteen cents a pound. 

Big Flats, (p. v.) situated on the N. Y. & Erie R. R., contains 
four churches, viz : Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Episco- 
pal; and a school, employing two teachers. There are also one 
store, four groceries, one hotel, two wagon shops, and several other 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 71 

mechanics of various kinds. A short distance from the village is a 
grist mill, and a steam flouring mill is in process of erection. 

The first settlement was made by Christian Miner, from Penn- 
sylvania, in 1787. Caleb Gardner and Henry Starell, from Penn- 
sylvania, settled on the river, below Miner, the same year or the 
next. George Gardner settled at the village in 1788 ; Clark Wi- 
nans in 1789, and John Winters, Jesse and Joel Rowley, and Geo. 
Gardner, Jr., all from Pennsylvania, settled in 1790. 

The first birth was that of Christian Miner, Jr., in 1790; the 
first marriage that of William Applegate and Catharine Miner ; 
and the first death that of T. Dolson. Cornelius McGinnis taught 
the first school, near the village ; John Hay kept the first store, 
and Capt. George Gardner the first inn at the village. The first 
gristmill was erected by Robert Miller, east of the village. The 
first church (Bap.) was formed in 1807. Rev. Roswell Goff was 
the first preacher. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,891, and its area 26,- 
097 acres. 

The town contains eleven school districts, employing twelve 
teachers. The number of persons of school age was 502, anr* the 
average attendance the past year 179. The amount expended for 
school purposes was $2,611.54. 

CATLIN was formed from Catharine, Schuyler County, April 
16, 1823. It is the north-west corner town of the County. The 
surface is a hilly upland, the highest summits being from 200 to 
400 feet above the valleys. The principal streams are Post and 
Sing Sing Creeks and Hubbard's Run. The soil is chiefly a grav- 
elly loam, and better adapted to grazing than to tillage. There is 
no village in the town. 

Post Creek is a post office. 

The first settlers were John Martin, from Tompkins County, and 
Aaron Davenport, from New Jersey, who located in the south-west 
corner of the town. Among the other early settlers were N. 
Swick, Homer Tupper, Edward Beebe, Jacob Bucher, Alanson 
Owen, John Woolsey and J. M. Barker, who located in the south 
part. Jacob Bucher kept the first inn, on Post Creek, and Mr. 
Ostrander erected the first saw and gristmills, on the same stream. 
Reuben Beebe died in town in 1854, at the age of 105 ; his widow, 
Hannah Beebe, lived to a still greater age. Mr. Beebe served as 
a soldier in the Revolutionary war. 

In 1865 the town contained a population of 1,444; its area is 
23,304 acres. 

The town contains fourteen school districts, employing fourteen

CHEMUNG was formed February 28th, 1789. Elmira 
was taken off in 1792, Erin in 1822, Baldwin in 1856, and a part of 
Ashland in 1867. It is the south-east corner town of the County. 
The surface is a hilly upland, broken by deep and narrow valleys. 
Chemung River is the principal stream, and flows south-east through 
the south part. Wynkoop's Creek flows south through the town, 
near the center, in a deep valley, bordered by steep hillsides. 
The soil on the uplands is a gravelly loam, and in the valleys, 
gravel mixed with alluvium. Broomcorn and tobacco are largely 
cultivated. 

Breckville, (Chemung p. o.) situated on Chemung River, con- 
tains a church and about sixty houses. It is also a station on the 
N. Y. & E. R. R. 

Chemung Center is a post office. 

The first settlement of this town was made at Breckville, in 1788, 
by Elijah Breck, Capt. Daniel McDowell and William Wynkoop. 
Breck and McDowell were from Pennsylvania. Other early set- 
tlers were Jacob Beidleman, Hon. John G. McDowell, Dr. Harvey 
Everett and Jacob Lowman. 

Th,e first marriage was that of Guy Maxwell and Nellie "Wyn- 
koop ; and the first death that of William Bosworth. The first inn 
was kept by William Wynkoop, on Wynkoop's Creek, and the 
first store by Elijah Breck, at Breckville. Epinetus Owen erected 
the first gristmill, on Wynkoop's Creek. William Wynkoop was 
from Ulster County, and settled at the mouth of the creek which 
bears his name. Samuel Wallace was the first school teacher ; he 
was killed by the Indians. The first church (Bap.) was formed in 
1790 by Roswell Goff. Asa Parshall, one of the first settlers of 
the Chemung Valley, was present at the Indian treaty at Newtown, 
in 1790, and ran a foot race with an Indian, and came off victorious. 

In 1865 the town contained a population of 1,950; its area is 
29,300 acres. 

The town contains fifteen school districts, employing sixteen 
teachers. The number of persons of school age was 783, the aver- 
age attendance the past year 283, and the amount expended for 
schools $4,462.27. 

ULMIHA. was formed from Chemung, as " Newtown," April 
10, 1792, and its name was changed April 6, 1808. Catharine 
(Schuyler Co.,) was taken off in 1798 ; Big Flats and Southport 
in 1822; Horseheads in 1854; and a part of Ashland in 1867. 
It is situated south of the center of the County. On the east and 
west borders are ranges of hills, between which extends a wide 
valley. The sunynits of the hills are from 400 to 600 feet above 
the valleys, and, their declivities are generally steep. Chemung 
river, which forms the south boundary, and Newtown and Gold-

b smiths Creeks, are the principal streams. The soil is a gravelly 
loam upon the uplands, and a fertile sandy loam in the valleys. 
The town had a population of 1,169 in 1865, and an area of 14,682 
acres. 

Elmira contains six school districts, employing six teachers. 
The whole number of persons of school age was 460, the average 
attendance the last year 165, and the amount expended for schools 
$1,594.59. " 

JEL3IIRA CITY was formed from Elmira and Southport, 
April 7, 1865. It was incorporated as a village March 3, 1815, as 
"Newtown," and its name was changed April 21, 1828. It is situ- 
ated on Chemung River, chiefly upon its north bank. The city 
contains the County buildings, four banks, two daily and two weekly 
papers, a book and job printing office, twelve churches, a Jewish 
synagogue, a female college, a water cure establishment and sev- 
eral large manufacturing establishments. The population of the 
city in 1865 was 13,130. It is rapidly increasing and is now va- 
riously estimated at fifteen to twenty thousand. 

The Elmira Female College was the first one of the kind estab- 
lished in the State. It was opened in October 1855, under the 
charge of Mrs. Dunlap, an accomplished lady and experienced 
teacher. The design of the institution was to afford to ladies a 
more extensive course of study than is usually offered in semina- 
ries and academies. The College has enjoyed a good degree of 
prosperity, and its founders and patrons are encouraged to continue 
to labor in its behalf. It is not sectarian in its character, but has 
in its Board of Trustees, members of the leading Christian denom- 
inations of the State. The college owes its finarcial success to the 
liberality of Simeon Benjamin, Esq., the able and generous Treas- 
urer of the Board of Trustees. He has made donations to the In- 
stitution, amounting in the aggregate to nearly $60,000. Since 
preparing this article, the sad intelligence comes to us that Mr. 
Benjamin has finished his work on earth, and gone to his reward. 

The public schools are graded and in a flourishing condition. 
The whole number of pupils on the school register for 1867 was 
2,832, and the number of teachers employed, forty -four. The 
whole cost of tuition for each scholar in the schools during the same 
year was $10,35. 

The Elmira Academy of Sciences is an organization for the pro- 
motion of scientific investigations. Through the liberality of the 
citizens, an Observatory has been erected, containing a telescope, 
a sidereal clock and other apparatus for astronomical observa- 
tions. 

Among the manufactories worthy of notice is the establishment 
of the Elmira Rolling Mill Company. It was incorporated in 1860, 



74 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

and immediately erected spacious buildings which have been in- 
creased from time to time to keep pace with the increasing busi- 
ness of the Company. The Company manufacture railroad and 
merchant bar iron, and give employment to about three hundred 
men. 

The Clinton Woolen Mills Company was organized in 1868, and 
purchased the mill and machinery of the Elmira Woolen Manufac- 
turing Company, and are carrying on the manufacturing business. 
Messrs. D. & R. Pratt, now interested in the business, were the 
pioneers of the County in this branch of manufacturing, having in- 
troduced the first power-loom into the County. 

Extensive railway car shops have been established here. The 
saw manufactory of Andrews & Burbage is very extensive, making 
all kinds and sizes for mill and hand use. 

The Southern Tier Orphans' Home. This institution had its ori- 
gin in the " Elmira Phoenix Hospital Aid Association," organized 
in October 1864. Its first object was to care for soldiers' families. 
An industrial department supplied sewing to those who were able 
to labor, and homes were provided for those who had none. To 
carry out the objects of the Association, it was found necessary to 
have a place where the sick women and little children could be 
properly cared for. To accomplish this, efforts were made to raise 
money by subscription for the erection of a building where cheap 
rent and employment might be given to soldiers' families. The 
name of the Society was now changed to the " Elmira Ladies Re- 
lief Association." Two thousand dollars were raised by subscrip- 
tion, which, with an appropriation from the Government, enabled 
the Association, January 1, 1866, to purchase the house and grounds 
now occupied, being about three-fourths of an acre. The house 
was soon opened and filled to its utmost capacity with sick adults 
and little children. Soon after the close of the war it was decided 
to change the character of the institution, and make it an Orphan 
Asylum, and it received the name of the Southern Tier Orphans 
Home. In the fall of 1867, the building was so enlarged as to ac- 
commodate thirty. Various plans have been resorted to with suc- 
cess in order to support this everchanging family ; such as public 
suppers, tableaux, concerts and lectures. The Legislature have 
each year granted a small appropriation ; citizens send in clothing, 
provisions, furniture, and sometimes money. Mr. and Mrs. Bur- 
lingame are Superintendent and Matron, Mrs. David Decker, Pres- 
ident ; Mrs. P. A. Lafrance and Mrs. A. Robertson, Vice Presi- 
dents ; Mrs. Luther Caldwell, Corresponding Secretary ; Mrs. J. 
B. Dunning, Recording Secretary and Mr. N. P. Fassett, Treasurer. 
More than one hundred have been received at the Institution, most 
of whom have been provided with good homes. About twenty 
are now enjoying the advantages of the Institution. A sabbath

and day school are kept in a small building on the premises. 
Though the Institution has been supported chiefly by the citizens of 
Elmira and vicinity, excepting appropriations from the State, its 
doors are opened to the needy in the southern tier of counties in 
the State. 

The first settlement of the town was made by Colonel John 
Hendy, in 1788, near the present site of Elmira City. He came 
up the river from Wilkesbarre, Perm., in a canoe. Soon after his 
arrival he planted a field of corn, and during the summer spent 
considerable time in exploring the region for a suitable place for a 
permanent settlement. Among other early settlers were Christian 
and Peter Loup, John Conkle, James Cameron, William Seely, 
John Miller, Caleb Baker, Thomas Hendy and Mr. Marks. The 
earliest settlers purchased their land of the Clintons. Col. Hendy 
purchased eight hundred acres of James Clinton, for one shilling an 
acre. The place was surveyed by James Clinton, Gen. John Hath- 
orn and John Cantine, Commissioners. In 1791, an Indian Coun- 
cil was held at Newtown Point. The Indians assembled in great 
numbers, not less than twelve hundred being present ; among them 
were some of their most noted Chiefs. The object of the assembly 
was to form a treaty with the United States Government. Col. 
Timothy Pickering, a Revolutionary patriot, represented the Gov- 
ernment. The treaty was negotiated under a tree, which was sub- 
sequently known as the " Old Council Tree." 

Dr. Amos Park was the first physician, and was also a preacher. 
The Kline House, was one of the first hotels, kept by a man named 
Stoner. The first representative to the State Legislature was 
Hon. Vincent Matthews, who was elected to the Assembly in 1794- 
95, and to the Senate, from the Western District, in 1796, in which 
he served till 1802. The first merchants were Cyrus Hallenbeck 
and Daniel Cruger. The first gristmill was built by Brinton Paine 
and William Dunn. General Matthew Carpenter built a sawmill, 
and a wool carding and cloth dressing mill at an early day. 

In 1797, Louis Phillippe, and two French noblemen, visited this 
place. They came on foot from Canandaigua, where they had spent 
some time, having letters of introduction from Thomas Morris to 
Henry Tower, Esq. Mr. Tower entertained his distinguished 
guests for several days, after which they went to Harrisburg, in a 
boat fitted up for the purpose. 

The first church (Presbyterian,) was organized in 1795, by Rev. 
Daniel Thatcher. 

In 1861 Elmira was designated as a place of rendezvous for the 
volunteers who cheerfully offered their services in defence of their 
country against the assault of traitors. Barracks were erected, 
and here assembled the volunteers from Central and Western New 
York, to await the organization of regiments, to receive arms,

equipments and supplies for the active duties to which they were 
subsequently called. Among those who offered their services 
were some of the descendants of the former owners of the soil, 
the children of the Six Nations. In 1864, a military prison was 
established here, and about 12,000 prisoners, chiefly from North 
Carolina, were furnished with quarters. Though they were well 
cared for, received comfortable food, clothing and medical attend- 
ance, nearly three thousand of them fell victims to disease, and 
were buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. 

March 18th, 1864, while the Sanitary Fair was in successful 
operation, a terrible accident occurred that sent a thrill of horror 
through the whole community, and shrouded in gloom the hearts 
of all. The First Presbyterian Church, in which the Fair was 
held, took fire while it was being lighted for the evening. The 
festoons of evergreen which decorated the church, had become dry, 
and so rapidly the flames leaped from festoon to festoon that in a 
few minutes the whole interior was in flames. But few persons 
were in the church at the time, or the loss of life must have been 
great ; as it was, two only perished in the flames, though others 
were seriously injured in their endeavors to rescue from a terrible 
fate their friends who were exposed to imminent peril. 

ERIN was formed from Chemung, March 29th, 1822. In 
1 854 a part of VanEtten was taken off. It extends from near the 
center of the County to the north border. The surface is an up- 
land, hilly, and broken by the deep and narrow valleys of the 
streams. The streams are small, the principal being Baker's, 
Baldwin's, Wynkoop's and Newtown Creeks. There is a fine sul- 
phur spring in the south part of the town, on Baker's Creek. The 
soil is a gravelly loam, tolerably productive, but better adapted to 
grazing than to tillage. Lumber is manufactured to some extent, 
and not more than half of the surface is under improvement. 

Erin and State Road are post offices. 

The first settlement was made in 1817, by Robert Park and 
John Banfield. Jesse L. White, Isaac Shoemaker, Alexander and 
John McKay, Thomas Baker, William and Robert Stewart, John 
and James Hollenbeck, B. Sperry, Thomas Van Houton, Philip 
Thomas, J. Boyn, Robert McDowell and his son Barnum, Andrew 
Austin, Joseph, Daniel and Samuel Vaughn, were among the other 
early settlers. 

The first death was that of Mrs. Thomas Baker. The first school 
was kept on Newtown Creek. The first saw mill was erected at 
the same place by J. & J. Miller. 

In 1865 the population was 1,256; its area is 26,817 acres. 

The town contains thirteen school districts, employing thirteen 
teachers. The number of persons of school age was 457, the aver-

age attendance the last year 165, and the amount expended for 
schools $2,191.06. 

HORSEHEADS was formed from Elmira, February 17th, 
1854. It is an interior town, lying near the center of the County. 
The surface in the east part is hilly, and in the west rolling and 
level. The summits of the hills are from 600 to 800 feet above 
Seneca Lake, and the summit level of the Chemung Canal at 
Horseheads is 443 feet above the same. Newtown Creek and its 
branches are the principal streams. The soil is a gravelly loam, of 
good quality. Tobacco has been cultivated to considerable extent 
for several years. 

Horseheads (p. v.) was incorporated May 15th, 1837, as Fair- 
port, and its name changed April 18th, 1845. It contains five 
churches, viz: Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal and 
Roman Catholic ; two flouring mills, one steam saw and planing 
mill, one brick yard, a woolen factory, a foundry and machine 
shop, two carriage shops, and several other manufactories. The 
" Empire Mills" and the " Horseheads Mills" are each capable of 
manufacturing about 800 bushels daily. The " Kline Iron Works" 
is one of the most extensive establishments in this part of the 
State, for the manufacture of mill irons and machinery, building 
fronts, fences and agricultural implements. 

The brick manufactory of Mr. Benjamin Westlake is one of the 
largest in the State. It contains five machines, each capable of 
turning out 50,000 bricks daily. The various kinds of brick manu- 
factured here are of the best quality. Mr. Westlake is prepared 
to fill all orders at short notice. The Chemung navigable feeder, 
from Corning, intersects the canal at this place, affording facilities 
for the transfer of freight to all parts of the country. 

Breesport, (p. v.) situated in the eastern part, contains two 
churches and about 400 inhabitants. It also contains a large steam 
saw mill, and is largely engaged in the lumbering business. 

Mr. Richard Hetfield, of this town, is extensively engaged in the 
manufacture of Elderberry wine. He cultivates his berries, and 
makes about 100 barrels per year. It sells for about $2.00 per 
gallon. 

The first settlement was made in 1789, by John Breese, from 
New Jersey. He built a log house a short distance below the 
village, on the east side of the road leading from the river to Sen- 
eca Lake. While Gen. Sullivan was encamped at this place, he 
caused a large number of condemned horses to be shot. The Indi- 
ans afterwards collected the bones of the heads and placed them 
along the path, and from that circumstance the place received the 
name of Horseheads. 

In 1791, Jonathan S. Conklin, Nathaniel Huntington, Asa Guil- 
dersleve, and a family named Gilbert, arrived and settled in this

vicinity. Soon after, a company from Orange County, New Jer- 
sey, among whom were James, Ebenezer and John Sayre, pur- 
chased ] ,400 acres of land, covering the site of the village, and set- 
tled on it. From Wilkesbarre, Penn., their goods were poled up 
the river on a flatboat, while the women and children, on horse- 
back, followed along the banks. 

The first birth was that of Susanna Conklin, in 1792 ; the first 
marriage that of William Dunn and Mary Sayre ; and the first 
death that of Susanna Conklin. The first school was taught by 
Amelia Parkhurst, in a log house. Solomon More built the first 
tannery, and Vincent Conklin kept the first inn. The first grist 
mill was erected by Lewis Breese. The first church (Presb.) of 
Horseheads was organized in 1832, and in April 1833 Rev. Ethan 
Pratt was installed pastor. In August 1862, a disastrous fire oc- 
curred in the village of Horseheads, which destroyed property to 
the amount of $75,000. Mrs. Sarah Jackson, now in the 80th year 
of her age, is said to be the first white woman born in the County. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 2,838; its area is 21,- 
880 acres. 

The town contains ten school districts, employing fifteen teach- 
ers. The whole number of persons between five and twenty-one 
years of age was 1,111, the average attendance during the last year 
was 337, and the amount expended for schools $4,831.53. 

SOUTHJPOBT was formed from Elmira, April 16, 1822, 
and a part of Ashland was taken off in 1867. It is the south-west 
corner town of the County. The surface is chiefly a hilly upland, 
broken by the deep valleys of the streams. Chemung River form- 
ing a part of the north boundary, is the principal stream ; it is bor- 
dered by broad, fertile alluvial flats. Seely Creek receives as 
tributaries South, Bird and Mud Lick Creeks. Hendy Creek flows 
along the north border. The soil upon the hills is a slaty loam, 
and in the valleys a fine quality of gravelly loam. 

Southport (p. v.) is situated in the north-east part, and contains 
two churches, several mills and manufactories, and about 200 in- 
habitants. 

Seely Creek, in the central part, is a post office. 
Webbs Mills (p. o.) is a hamlet in the southern part. 

The first settlement was made at Southport in 1789, by Abraham 
Miller, from Pennsylvania. He served as Captain in the army 
during the Revolution and was appointed Eirst Judge of Tioga 
County, by Governor Clinton, in 1791. 

The first sawmill was erected by Colonel Miller, on a branch of 
Seely Creek ; the first gristmills were erected by David Gris- 
wold and Solomon Bovier, and the first factory by Charles Evans, 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 79 

at Southport. John and Timothy Smith, Lebeus Hammond, Wil- 
liam Jenkins and Rufus Baldwin, were some of the other early set- 
tlers. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 3,412, and its area is 28,- 
969 acres. 

There are sixteen school districts, employing sixteen teachers. 
The whole number of persons between five and twenty-one years of 
age, during the last year, was 926 ; the average attendance 270, and 
the amount expended for school purposes was $4,705.49. 

VAN ETTEN, named from James B. Van Etten, was formed 
from Erin and Cayuta, April 17th, 1854. It is situated in the 
north-east corner ©f the County. The surface is a hilly upland. 
Cayuta Creek flows south-east through the center, and re- 
ceives as tributaries Jackson and Langford's Creeks from the north, 
and Baker's Creek from the south. The soil is a clay loam upon the 
hills and a gravelly loam in the valleys. 

Van Ettenville, (p. v.) situated in the east part of the town, con- 
tains three churches and about twenty houses. 

Van Etten is a post office in the western part. 

The first settlements were made along the valley of Cayuta 
Creek in 1795, by Alexander, Benjamin, Ennis, Peter, Jacob, 
Emanuel and Isaac Swartwood, from New Jersey. From 1795 to 
1800, Cayuta Flats, at and near Van Ettenville, was settled by 
persons from the Delaware River, among whom were James Van 
Etten, John and David Hill, Isaac and Levi Decker, Samuel, 
James, Daniel and Joshua Westbrook, John Lattimore, and a Mr. 
Johnson and Cramer. In 1802, Harmon White, from Litchfield, 
Conn., David and Gabriel Jayne, from New Jersey, settled on a 
branch of Cayuta Creek. Most of these settlers were men who 
had served in the army during the war, two of whom, James Van 
Etten and Isaac Decker, were wounded by musket balls, which 
they carried to their graves. 

Flanders and Skaats kept the first store at VanEttenville ; Isaac 
Swartwood erected the first gristmill in 1803, and Jacob Swart- 
wood opened the first inn in 1801. The first church (Bap.) was 
formed by Rev. Ebenezer Jayne, the first settled minister. 

The population in 1865 was 1,485; its area is 24,787 acres. 

There are fourteen school districts, employing fifteen teachers. 
The whole number of persons between five and twenty-one years 
of age during the last school year was 521 ; the average attendance 
139, and the amount expended for school purposes $1,963.73. 

VETERANvras formed from Catharine, April 16, 1823. It 
is situated on the north line of the County, west of the center. 
The surface is chiefly a hilly upland. Catharine Creek flows north 



80 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

along the west border, affording numerous mill sites. The other 
streams are Newtown and Beardsley Creeks. The soil is fertile, 
being a gravelly loam ; in some places however it is clayey. 

Millport, (p. v.) situated in the north-west part of the town, on 
the Northern Central R. R., and Chemung Canal, contains two 
churches, three large flouring mills, a sash and blind factory, a bed- 
stead factory, a cabinet shop, a foundry, a hotel, half a dozen stores 
and several mechanic shops, and a population of about 800. 

Sullivanville, (p. v.) in the south-east part, contains a church, two 
hotels, two wagon shops, a stave factory and about 200 inhabitants. 

Pine Valley, (p. v.) is situated on the Northern Central R. R., 
and the Chemung Canal, and contains a hotel, two stores, a black- 
smith shop and a shoe shop. The Free Will Baptists are erecting 
a church here. 

Pine Grove is a post office. 

The first settlements were made about the commencement of the 
century, in the north part of the town, by immigrants from Connec- 
ticut ; and in the south part, by immigrants from Pennsylvania. 
Among those from Connecticut may be named E. Mallary and son, 
Eli and David Banks, and families named Meeker, Baldwin and 
Parsons. Theodore Vallean, D. Shaffer, N. Botsford and B. Lock- 
esby came from Pennsylvania. 

E. Crandall, kept the first store, at Millport, and Daniel Parsons 
kept the first inn. G. Bennett erected the first sawmill, on Catha- 
rine Creek, below Millport. The first church (M. E.) was formed 
in 1817. 

In the summer of 1857 a very destructive flood occured upon 
the stream, sweeping away every dam upon it, and every lock upon 
the canal, from Horseheads to Seneca Lake. The whole valley was 
flooded, and at Millport and other places along the stream, people 
were obliged to flee for their lives. 

In 1865 the town contained a population of 2,429, and its area is 
22,775 acres. 

There are seventeen school districts, employing nineteen teachers. 
The whole number of persons between five and twenty -one years 
of age was 891 ; the average attendance 275, and the amount ex- 
pended for schools $4,161.39.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



[The following sketches of the lives of some of the early settlers 
of this County, and incidents in their personal history, are present- 
ed as reminiscences of the early times, not unworthy of a place in 
a work like this.] 

COL. HEN DY. 



Col. John Hendy, the first settler in the County, was bora in 
Wyoming, Penn., September 3d, 1757. He enlisted in the army 
at the age of seventeen, and was in the battles at Bunker Hill, 
Princetown, Trenton, Monmouth and other places. He served the 
whole time under Washington, and rose to the rank of Captain. 
Alter leaving the army he returned to Wilkesbarre and engaged in 
farming, having married a Miss Baker. He subsequently removed 
to Tioga Point, where he remained until 1788, when he came to 
Chemung County, engaged in farming, and continued to reside 
here until his death, a period of more than fifty years. He re- 
moved the first shovel-ful of dirt in the excavation of the Chemung 
Canal, a work in which he was greatly interested. During the 
war of 1812-15 he raised several companies, but they were not 
called into the service. In 1789 he received a commission of 
Captain of a militia company, in the town of Chemung, and sub- 
sequently that of Second Major of a regiment in the County of 
Tioga. In 1803 he received a commission of Lieut.-Colonel of the 
same regiment, from Governor George Clinton. He was buried 
in the old cemetery, but his remains were subsequently removed 
to Woodlawn Cemetery, and a suitable monument erected over 
them. Col. Hendy was a man greatly respected and esteemed for 
his honesty, integrity and kindness of heart. 

WILLIAM HOFFMAN. 



"William Hoffman was born in the town of Northumberland, 
Pennsylvania, about the year 1777. When about nineteen years 
of age, he left his home to seek his fortune among the wilds of 
Chemung County. Embarking with his scanty effects' in a boat, 



82 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 

with his own strong arm he forced a passage up the Susquehanna 
and Chemung, penetrating the wilds and solitude of the primeval 
forests, with only here and there an indication of that spirit of im- 
provement which subsequently became so marked a feature of this 
beautiful valley. In 1798 Newtown numbered twenty-four houses, 
with a cash value of about six thousand dollars. He at first car- 
ried on the business of hatter, his shop standing where Hubbell's 
furniture store now stands. Soon after he purchased a large tract 
of land, extending from Main street far above the old family home- 
stead on Water street. This was the foundation of the wealth that 
subsequently surrounded his declining years, and afforded every 
comfort that wealth could procure. Though he bargained for his 
land at a higher price than many of his neighbors paid, he fulfilled 
to the letter every part of the contract. The greater portion of 
his life was devoted to farming pursuits, and to him more than to 
any other may be attributed the early success of the farming inter- 
ests in the Chemung valley. Mr. Hoffman was scrupulously hon- 
est, kind and obliging to the poor, and lenient to those indebted to 
him. As a friend, kind and true ; and as a citizen, faithful to every 
trust reposed in him. He died July 4th, 1867, nearly ninety years 
of age, greatly esteemed and lamented, not only by a large circle 
of relatives, but by the whole community in which he had lived so 
many years. 

JOHN SUFFERN. 



Another of the early settlers whose names are held in grateful 
remembrance by their posterity, is that of John Suffern. He 
was born in the north of Ireland, his ancestors having emigrated 
from Scotland to escape the persecution that followed the Reform- 
ation of John Knox. In the seventeenth year of his age he came 
to America, and after remaining in New York city for a time, 
came to Chemung County, on horseback, accompanied by a single 
companion. This journey was made in 1804, through forests in- 
habited by wild beasts and Indians, through swamps and across 
streams, with very few indications of civilized life. At Chenango 
Forks, where Brainard had established a mission among the Indi- 
ans, was a small tavern, where they met travelers going east, and 
exchanged letters with them, to their respective friends. On their 
arrival at Newtown, they put up at a tavern kept by John Davis, 
at the Ferry, now the corner of Lake and Water streets. After 
exploring the region, he settled on a lot, where he remained for 
fifty-three years. Possessing a vigorous constitution, and indomit- 
able energy, he commenced his labors, and in a few years had the 
satisfaction of seeing the wilderness "blossom as the rose." In 
disposition he was frank and kind hearted, ever ready to lend a 



REMINISCENCES. 83 



helping hand to the needy and the distressed. His life was an 
active and useful one, and its close peaceful and happy. His exam- 
ple is more to be prized than silver and gold, and one tc which 
the rising generation may be pointed, as worthy of their imitation. 



REMINISCENCES 
In the Lives of some of the Early Settlers. 



Mr. Lebeus Hammond, one of the early settlers of the Chemung 
Valley, came from Luzerne Co., Penn. In the spring of 1781, he 
left his feome near Wilkesbarre, in search of a horse wh'ch had 
strayed away. He directed his course up the river, about ten miles, 
to where he had formerly lived. Here he found his horse, as he 
expected, and after making a bridle of hickory withes, started for 
home. Wken within about four miles of his home, he discov- 
ered several moccasin tracks in the road ; fearing that a party of In- 
dians were near, he listened for a few minutes and then started off 
at a brisk trot. He had proceeded but a short distance when 
two Indians sprang from behind a tree, seized his horse by the bri- 
dle, and dragged him to the ground. After a short consultation in 
the Indian language, they led him into the woods and tied him to a 
tree, with Jois hands made fast behind him. The Indians then left 
him for about an hour and then returned with two other prisoners, 
.a Mr. Bennett and his son, with whom Mr. Hammond had con- 
versed but a short time previous to his capture. They were accom- 
panied by four other Indians, and immediately commenced their 
march up the Susquehanna River, compelling Mr. Bennett to carry 
their baggage. They traveled thirteen miles that evening, and 
camped <in an old building on the bank of the river. The prisoners, 
weary as they were, and faint and hungry, were compelled to lie 
down with nothing to eat. Previous to their lying down, an old 
Indian, wiho appeared to be their leader, cut three poles, and having 
compelled the prisoners to lie down, placed the poles across them, 
and threeof the Indians lay down on each end of the poles, to prevent 
h e escape of the prisoners. Here they remained all night and un- 
til ten o'clock the next day, when a party of Indians came in canoes

from the opposite side of the river and took them over. When 
they reached the shore, each of the prisoners was supplied with a 
large piece of jerked venison, which was eagerly devoured. They 
then proceeded up the river, and at night encamped upon its bank, 
being secured in the same manner as on the previous night. The 
next morning the march was continued up the river. The melting 
snow had raised the streams which they were compelled to cross, 
but still they pressed on, till they reached a creek which the Indians 
called Mashoppin ; here they killed a deer and carried the meat 
with them. 

The creek was very much swollen, and they were compelled to 
proceed up the stream some distance before they could cross. Hav- 
ing crossed, they proceeded down the opposite bank to within half 
a mile of its junction with the Susquehanna, where they encamped. 
While they were roasting their venison, the leader of the Indians, 
who spoke very g#od English, entered into conversation with Ham- 
mond, about the war ; asked him if he knew Lieut. Boyd, and on 
receiving an affirmative answer, brought forward Boyd's sword, 
saying, " Boyd a brave man, he as good a soldier as ever fought 
against the red men." This Indian commanded the party which 
massacred Lieut. B. and his party, only one of whom escaped. 
Boyd had been sent out by General Sullivan with a scouting party, 
when he was taken prisoner by the Indians and tortured in the most 
inhuman manner. Hammond knowing that it would be death to 
him to express the detestation which he felt at the account, re- 
strained his wrath, and very soon lay down, secured as he had been 
on the two previous nights. During the night the wind changed, 
and it became so cold that the prisoners nearly perished. At day- 
break the Indians ordered the prisoners to build a lire, and setting 
one of the Indians to guard, the others lay down and soon fell 
asleep. 

The guard took the head of the deer which they had killed on the 
previous day, and with a spear held it in the fire to roast, and threw 
a blanket over his head and shoulders to shield him from the cold. 
After the prisoners had warmed themselves, they asked permission 
to go to the creek and wash ; the request was granted. After they 
had washed, they determined to make an effort to escape, as it was 
the most favorable opportunity they would probably have. To de- 
ceive the old Indian who was on guard, Hammond was to place 
himself on the opposite side of the fire and engage him in earnest 
conversation, while Bennett and his son were to come up behind 
the Indian and seize the guns and spears. At a given signal, Ben- 
nett drove the spear through the body of the old Indian, who leaped 
across the fire, uttering a most terrific yell. Hammond sprang 
across the fire, seized a tomahawk and buried it in the brain of the 
Indian who had commanded the party which massacred Boyd and 



BEMIN1SCENCES. 85 



his men ; another blow sent a second Indian into the fire ; at a third 
blow he buried the tomahawk between the shoulders of another, 
who sprang away with it sticking in his shoulders. Bennett having 
lost his spear at the commencement of the affray, seized a gun and 
despatched one of the Indians by beating out his brains with the 
butt. 

Unfortunately three of the guns were empty or not one of the 
Indians could have escaped. This rendered the boy almost useless, 
he having made three attempts to shoot, but with an empty gun. 
One of the Indians escaped unhurt, and another with an ugly gash 
between his shoulders made by the tomahawk. Gathering up the 
blankets, guns and sword, they commenced their retreat. They 
proceeded up the Mashoppin about three miles, where they waded 
across, taking the boy between them to prevent his being swept 
away by the stream, which was very high and dangerous to cross. 
The morning was cold, and they had proceeded but a short distance 
before their clothes were frozen so stiff that it was with difficulty 
that they could travel. On their way they kept a considerable dis- 
tance from the river, being able to travel upon the crust, and at the 
same time rendering it more difficult to track them. They arrived 
at home on the evening of the sixth day after their capture, to the 
great joy of their families and neighbors, having traveled three 
days without a mouthful of food. 

Lieut. Boyd's sword, which Hammond had taken from the Indian, 
was subsequently presented to Col. John Boyd, brother of the de- 
ceased. 



Hon. John G. McDowell. — Another whose name is intimately 
connected with the early history of the County is John G. Mc- 
Dowell. He was born in Chemung, February 27th, 1784. During 
the active years of his life he was much engaged in public duties, was 
a member of the State Legislature for several years, and was the 
first President of the Chemung Canal Bank; a man possessing a 
strong and energetic mind, a great fund of common sense, and was 
universally esteemed. His wit and humor made him a universal 
favorite wherever he went. Many amusing anecdotes are related 
of him, one of which we find related in the "Reminiscences of the 
Southern Tier," published in the Knickerbocker Magazine in 1856: 
" Soon after the New York and Erie Railroad Company commenced 
operations, the Judge had occasion to visit Binghamton on busi- 
ness, and took his passage on the railroad. When ready to return 
home, he took his seat on the train going west, which would pass 
through Chemung. The Conductor called for the fare, when the 
Judge handed him the amount required, stating that his destination 
was Chemung. It seems that some of the employees of the road, 
in preparing a list of stopping places and rates of fare, not possess-' 
p

ing the love of ancient names which characterized the Judge, had 
left oft' the name of Chemung and substituted what to them seemed 
to sound better, that of Springville. The Conductor had but 
lately been placed upon this route, and the name of Chemung was 
as new to him as that of Springville was to the Judge. Looking 
over his list, he told the Judge there was no such place as Che- 
mung. Imagine the surprise of the Judge at this announcement. 
'No such place as Chemung! Why, sir, the name of Chemung 
was known, loved, honored and cherished by the early settlers, 
who now sleep in its soil, long years ago/ The Conductor asked 
on which side of Waverly it was located. This made matters 
much worse. 'Young man, you have much to learn; Chemung 
was known and had become a part of the history of the country 
long before Waverly or the New York and Erie Railroad were 
ever thought of. You had better ask on which side of Chemung 
Waverly is. Sir, I will teach you and your employers that there 
is a religion in old names. What right have you to change this 
loved and honored name, rich in historic associations, for the un- 
meaning one of Springville 1 ? I will have it restored.' He then 
paid his fare to Elmira, twelve miles beyond Chemung, which he 
said should be the place of his arrival and departure until the Erie 
Railroad Company had learned where Chemung was. It is need- 
less to say that the energy and perseverance of the Judge soon 
restored the time-honored Chemung to its appropriate place on the 
roll." 



Captain Daniel McDowell, the father of the Judge, settled' on 
the farm known as McDowell's Flats, upon which the son resided 
for many years. He was a Scotchman by birth, was taken prison- 
er at Shawnee by the Indians in 1782, and taken to Niagara, where 
he was compelled to run the gauntlet. He passed through that 
terrible ordeal and escaped death, and was subsequently banished 
to Quebec, where, after remaining in prison for a year, and endur- 
ing many cruelties, he was liberated. While on his way to Niag- 
ara as a prisoner, the route lay along the Chemung valley, near 
the present railroad depot in the town of Chemung. Here his 
captors halted at a spring to quench their thirst. Capt. McDowell 
was so impressed with the beauty of the scene, the broad flats, 
with here and there patches of corn, and the abundance of wild 
grapes, plums and other fruits, that he determined, if ever released, 
he would settle in this fertile and inviting location.- This determin- 
ation, as we have seen, was carried out. The Indians gave him a 
name very expressive of his character physically and mentally, 
Keto, meaning " man of iron."

T E 



T* acknowledged by all to be the best material ever used for Roofing purposes- 

a &%*&#& s*o<or 

Is superior to all others on account of its Durability, Safety, Beauty and Cheapness.— 
It will not decay, bum. rust or wear out, and never needs repairs. The slates can be 
taken from one roof and put on another. Tim is a great saving, if it is desired to re- 
model the building. The rain water falling Irom a slate roof is absolutely pure, not be- 
ing contaminated with decaying wood. tar. pitch or paint, or anything which unfits it 
for domestic use. The cost of a slate roof is bat little above that of irood shingles.

170 SCHUYLER COUNTY. 



SCHUYLER COUNTY. 



THIS COUNTY was formed from Steuben, Chemung and 
Tompkins, April 17th, 1854, and named in honor of General Philip 
Schuyler. It is situated upon both sides of the southern extremity 
of Seneca Lake; is centrally distant 160 miles from Albany, and 
contains 352 square miles. Its surface generally is an undulating 
and hilly upland, divided into two distinct ridges by the deep val- 
ley of Seneca Lake and its inlet. The highest land in the County 
rises from 600 to 1,000 feet above the lake, and from 1,200 to 1,600 
above tide. Along the shores of the lake a high bluff rises, from 
100 to 300 feet in height, and too steep for profitable cultivation. 
Further from the lake the hills are bordered by long, gradual 
slopes, and are tillable to their summits. The extreme south part 
of the County assumes a more hilly and broken character. 

The principal stream is Catharine's Creek, flowing into the head 
of Seneca Lake, through a deep, narrow, winding valley, bordered 
by steep hill-sides, from 400 to 600 feet high. There are numer- 
ous falls upon this creek, affording abundance of water-power. A 
marshy region of considerable extent lies near the mouth of the 
creek. Mead's Creek, a tributary of Chemung Eiver, drains the 
south-west corner, and Cayuta Creek the south-east corner. The 
other streams are all small creeks and brooks, most of them flow- 
ing into Seneca Lake. A few streams, which rise in the north-east 
part of the County, flow into Cayuga Lake. Little and Mud Lakes, 
on the west border, discharge their waters through Mud Creek into 
Conhocton River. Cayuta Lake is a beautiful sheet of water in the 
eastern part of the County. Hector Falls, upon a small stream 
flowing into Seneca Lake from the east, is one of the most beauti- 
ful cascades in the State. 

The rocks of the County belong chiefly to the Chemung and Por- 
tage groups, the former occupying the south part of the County 



SCHUYLER COUNTY. 171 



and the latter the north part. The Genesee slate outcrops along 
the deep valley of Seneca Lake, in the extreme northern part. 
There is very little good building stone in the County ; the thin- 
bedded sand-stone, separating the thick beds of shale, being the 
only stone suitable for the purpose. Deep deposits of drift cover 
the shale in many places. CTpon the highlands the soil is clayey 
and gravelly, derived chiefly from the disintegration of the shales, 
which is in many places underlaid by hard-pan. In the valleys the 
soil is a gravelly loam, intermixed with alluvium. 

The principal pursuit of the people is agriculture. Spring grains 
are raised to considerable extent, and great attention is paid to 
stock raising, dairying and wool growing. The climate and soil 
are better adapted to pasturage than to tillage. Fruit is an impor- 
tant article of culture, and all kinds adapted to the climate succeed 
well. There is some manufacturing at Watkins and Havana. 

In 1854, Delos DeWolf, of Oswego, Edward Dodd, of Washing- 
ton, and Vivus W. Smith, of Onondaga, were appointed Commis- 
sioners to locate the County buildings, and fixed upon Havana as 
the County seat. The action of the Commissioners was resisted by 
the Board of Supervisors, and by them the County seat was located 
at Watkins, at the head of Seneca Lake. A Court House was 
erected at each village ; but the Courts decided in favor of the ac- 
tion of the Commissioners, and April 13th, 1857, the Legislature 
passed an act confirming the location of the County seat at Havana. 
This act was confirmed by the Supreme Court, in April, 1858. In 
1867 a law was passed removing the County buildings and Courts 
of Schuyler County to the village of Watkins. New buildings 
have been erected on an eligible site, and the County seat is now 
permanently located at Watkins. 

The public works in the County are the Chemung Canal, extend- 
ing from the head of Seneca Lake south, through the valley of 
Catharine's Creek, uniting with Chemung River at Elmira ; the 
Elmira, Jefferson and Canandaigua Railroad, extending along the 
west shore of Seneca Lake, to Watkins ; and the Chemung Rail- 
road, extending south from Watkins, along Catharine's Creek, to 
Elmira. These roads are now known as the Northern Central 
Railroad. 

There are three weekly newspapers now published in the County. 
The first paper published was 

The Tioga Patriot, started at Havana in June, 1828, by L. B. 
& S. Butler, and was continued only a short time. 

The Havana Observer was started in 1830, by F. W". Ritter, and 
was soon discontinued. 

The Havana Republican was started in 1835, by Nelson Col- 
grove. It was subsequently published by G. Barlow Nye, T. J. 
Taylor and W. H. Ongly, successively, until 1849, when it was 
changed to the 



172 SCHUYLER COUNTY. 



Life in the Country and Havana Republican. It was discon- 
tinued in 1850. 

The Chemung Democrat was removed from Horseheads to Ha- 
vana in 1840, and to "Jefferson" (now Watkins,) in 1842. Its 
name was soon after changed to 

The Democratic Citizen, and was issued by J. I. Hendricks, until 
1850. 

The Independent Freeman was started at Watkins, June 15th, 

1850, by W. B. Slawson & Co. ; in 1851 it was changed to 
The Jefferson Eagle, and was continued a few months. 

The Corona Borealis, a literary paper, was published at Jefferson 
about the same time. 

The Watkins Republican was started in June, 1854, by S. M. 
Taylor. It passed into the hands of J. K. Averill, and subsequently 
into those of M. Ells. 

THE SCHUYLER COUNTY DEMOCRAT was started in 
1863, and is now published by Win. H. Baldwin. 

THE WATKINS EXPRESS, now in its fifteenth volume, is 
published by Levi M. Gano. 

THE HAVANA JOURNAL was established by Waldo M. 
Potter, in September, 1849, and continued by him until the fall of 

1851. It was then published by J. Wesley Smith until the spring 
of 1853, when the establishment was purchased by John B. Look, 
who conducted it until the spring of 1864. In May of that year, 
E. A. Hotchkiss purchased a half interest, and under the firm name 
of Look & Hotchkiss the paper was conducted for about six 
months. Mr. A. E. Fay then purchased the interest of Mr. Hotch- 
kiss, and continued as a partner of Mr. Look until the fall of 1865. 
In September of that year Hon. Charles Cook purchased the estab- 
lishment, continuing the paper as its editor and proprietor until his 
death, in October, 1866. The Journal was then published by the 
heirs of Mr. Cook until February, 1867, at which time it was sold 
to its present publisher, A. G. Ball. The Journal is now an eight- 
column paper, and has a large circulation. 

The expedition of General Sullivan in 1779, passed through this 
County after the battle of Newtown, so fatal to the Indians. As 
the route of the army lay through narrow defiles where heavy artil- 
ery could^not well be transported, this, with wagons and such por- 
tions of the baggage as were not wanted, was sent back to Tioga 
Point. Only four brass three-pounders and a small howitzer were 
retained ; and the whole army, put upon short rations, moved to- 
wards Catharinestown, (now Havana,) the residence of the cele- 
brated Catharine Montour. The Indians fled in dismay after the 
battle of Newtown, though a small force would have been suffi- 
cient to utterly destroy or drive back the army sent against them, 
so difficult was the pass through which it was compelled to march. 



SCHUYLER COUNTY. 173 



General Sullivan relates in his official account, that on his arrival 
at Catharinestown, an old woman of the Cayuga nation was found 
in the woods, who informed him that the Indians arrived the next 
day after the battle, in great confusion, saying that they were con- 
quered and must flee ; that a great many were killed and vast num- 
bers wounded. She heard the lamentations of many at the loss 
of their relatives, and assured General Sullivan that other warriors 
had met Brant and Butler, and desired them to return and renew 
the battle. But they could not be induced to risk another engage- 
ment. General S. had depended upon the Oneidas to act as guides 
and runners through the Indian country, but being disappointed in 
this, only four remaining with the expedition, he dispatched one of 
those from Catharinestown to the Oneida Castle, with an address, 
calling upon all who were friendly to the Americans to prove the 
sincerity of their professions by joining his forces immediately. — 
The messenger, Oneigat, was also instructed to give his nation an 
account of the battle of Newtown. He did not return and join the 
expedition until near its close ; but on his return, reported that a 
council was convened and his people were greatly rejoiced at the 
news which he bore, and that seventy warriors had set out with 
him to join the army, and thirty more were to follow the next 
day. On their arrival at the Onondaga village they learned that 
Sullivan had advanced to Kanadesaga, and wanted no more men, 
except a few guides ; and after transmitting to him an address, the 
Oneida warriors turned back. The address was one interceding in 
behalf of a clan of Cayugas who had claimed to be friendly to the 
United States. General Schuyler declared, in reply, that the Cay- 
ugas should be chastised, for their whole course had been marked 
by duplicity and hostility. 

The state of civilization to which the Six Nations had arrived can 
scarcely be realized by those who are accustomed to look upon all 
Indians as the same roving savages, living in the rudest of huts, 
with scarcely enough of the habits of civilized life to separate them 
from the beasts of the field. They had several towns and many 
large villages laid out with considerable regularity. Some of their 
houses were framed, had chimneys, and were painted. Their fields 
of corn and beans were large, and their orchards of apples, pears and 
peaches were extensive and flourishing. Sullivan's expedition 
swept over it as with the besom of destruction. At Catharines- 
town, all of the houses, thirty in number, were destroyed, and the 
fields and orchards laid waste. On the 4th of September the army 
advanced from Catharinestown down the east shore of the lake, 
destroyed the small settlement at Peach Orchard, and proceeded 
down the lake to Kandaia, a village of about twenty houses, which 
was burned, and one day spent in destroying the fields and orchards 
in the vicinity. On the 7th, the army crossed the outlet of Seneca 



174 SCHUYLER COUNTY. 



Lake and advanced upon Kanadesaga, the Seneca capital, contain- 
ing about sixty houses, with orchards and gardens rich with the 
autumnal harvest. It was Sullivan's intention to surround the 
town and take it by surprise ; but Butler was unable to induce the 
Indians to make a stand, and their capital was abandoned before 
the army reached it. Here, as elsewhere, the work of destruction 
was complete. From this point a detachment of sixty men was 
sent back to Tioga with the sick, while the main army advanced 
to Canandaigua, destroying twenty-three houses ; thence they pro- 
ceeded to Honeoye, and after destroying the town, established a 
strong garrison, leaving the heavy stores and one field-piece. The 
army then advanced towards Genesee, the great capital of the west- 
ern tribes. Several towns were destroyed on the route. While 
delaying to bridge a creek, Lieutenant Boyd was sent out with 
twenty-six men to reconnoitre Little Beardstown. Having accom- 
plished his object, he was returning to re-join the main army, when 
he was surrounded by several hundred Indians. He made several 
efforts to cut his way through their line, but without success. A 
few only of his party escaped; one besides himself was taken pris- 
oner, the others were slain. Lieutenant Boyd was tortured in the 
most shocking manner that savage ingenuity could devise, and was 
only relieved by death. 

The Genesee valley presented the appearance of having been 
cultivated for a long time, and its beauty and fertility filled the 
soldiers with astonishment and delight. Beautiful as everything 
appeared on that autumnal day, it was doomed to a speedy destruc- 
tion. The whole region was scoured by the troops, and large quan- 
tities of corn, laid up for winter use, were destroyed by being 
burned or thrown into the river. Gen. Sullivan said : " The town 
of Genesee contained one hundred and twenty-eight houses, mostly 
large and very elegant. It was beautifully situated, almost encir- 
cled with a clear flat, extending a number of miles, over which ex- 
tensive fields of corn were waving, together with every kind of vege- 
table that could be conceived." Stone, in his life of Brant, gives 
the following description of this beautiful region, and of the desola- 
tion caused by the army in its march from Newtown : 

" But the entire army was immediately engaged in destroying 
it, and the axe and the torch soon transformed the whole of that 
beautiful region from the character of a garden to a scene of drear 
and sickening desolation. Forty Indian towns, the largest contain- 
ing one hundred and twenty-eight houses, were destroyed. Corn, 
gathered and ungathered, to the amount of one hundred and sixty 
thousand bushels, shared the same fate ; their fruit trees were cut 
down, and the Indians were hunted like wild beasts, till neither 
house nor fruit tree, nor field of corn nor inhabitant remained in 
the whole country. The gardens were enriched with great quanti- 



SCHUYLER COUNTY. 175 



ties of useful vegetables of different kinds. The size of the corn- 
fields, as well as the high degree of cultivation in which they were 
kept, excited wonder, and the ears of corn were so remarkably 
large that many of them measured twenty-two inches in length. 
So numerous were the fruit trees that in one orchard they cut down 
fifteen hundred." 

In reference to this same thing, at an Indian council held at Phila- 
delphia in 1792, Cornplanter addressed Washington in the follow- 
ing language : 

" Father, the voice of the Seneca nation speaks to you ; the great 
counselor, in whose heart the wise men of all the Thirteen Fires 
have placed their wisdom. It may be very small in your ears, and 
we therefore entreat you to hearken with attention ; for we are 
about to speak to you of things which to us are very great. When 
your army entered the country of the Six Nations we called you 
the Town Destroyer, and to this day, when that name is heard, our 
women look behind them and turn pale, and our children cling 
close to the necks of their mothers. Our counselors and warriors 
are men and cannot be afraid, but their hearts are grieved with the 
fears of our women and children, and desire that it may be buried 
so deep as to be heard no more." 

Having completed the objects of the expedition to this point, 
Gen. Sullivan set out on his return, September 16th, and arrived at 
Tioga Point on the 30th of the same month. 

It is in connection with this expedition that we first find the name 
of the celebrated Seneca orator, Bed Jacket, mentioned in history. 
He was born in 1750, near Canoga, in Seneca County. According 
to his own account, he was first inspired with a desire to become 
an orator by listening to the renowned Logan, at an Indian council 
held in the valley of the Shenandoah. Though many of the cele- 
brated Indian orators were present, Red Jacket was most charmed 
by Logan, and resolved to take him for a model. On his return 
home he devoted himself to study, spending much of his time in 
the forests alone, and by the roaring waterfalls, that he might train 
his voice for large assemblies. His mother was accustomed to re- 
prove him for his absence, and question him as to the cause. 
Though loth to answer, when hard pressed he would reply that he 
had been "playing Logan." The falls at Havana was one of the 
places to which he would resort for practice, thus imitating the 
great orator of the Greeks, who practiced by the roaring sea. 
Thus it will be seen that his command of language and his power 
over the multitude were the result of long and persistent effort. 

This County, though small, embraces part of four different tracts. 
The town of Hector belonged to the Military Tract ; the towns of 
Catharine, Dix and Montour to the Watkins and Flint Tract ; Ty- 
rone and Orange to the Phelps and Gorham Purchase ; and Read-

ing to a tract purchased by James Watson, embracing the land 
lying between Seneca Lake, the Pre-emption line and Ryckman''s 
Reservation. The price paid for the last named was three shillings 
and seven pence per acre. The boundaries of the Watkins and 
Flint Tract are described as follows, in the Documentary History 
of the State : 

" Beginning at the north-west corner of the township of Che- 
mung ; thence running easterly along the northern boundary of the 
said township of Chemung, until it strikes Owego River, being the 
west bounds of the ten townships added to Massachusetts ; thence 
northerly along said bounds to the township of Dry den, being one 
of the military townships appropriated for the use of the troops of 
this State ; thence westerly along the southern boundary of the 
townships of Dryden, Ulysses and Hector, to the south-western part 
of Seneca Lake ; thence west until the line strikes the Pre-emption 
line ; thence southerly along the said Pre-emption line to the place 
of beginning." 

The price was three shillings and four pence per acre, one-sixth 
part of the purchase money to be paid, with lawful interest, in six 
months, and the remainder in two equal installments, one in nine 
months and the other in eighteen months. 

The Military Tract, of which Hector formed a part, embraced 
twenty-six townships, appropriated as bounty to the soldiers of the 
Revolution, giving each non-commissioned officer and private five 
hundred acres. The land was surveyed into townships, each con- 
taining one hundred lots one mile square. Congress also passed a 
law giving one hundred acres to each soldier, this land lying in 
Ohio. Arrangements were subsequently made to allow the soldiers 
to draw the whole six hundred acres in this State, by their giving 
up their claim to the Ohio lands. 

The first settlements were made on Catharine's Creek, near Ha- 
vana, in 1788, and on the shore of Seneca Lake in 1790, and before 
the commencement of the present century settlements had been 
commenced in nearly all the towns now embraced in the County. 

Since this County has had a separate organization, little has oc- 
curred worthy of special record in a work like this. 

At the outbreak of the Rebellion, Schuyler, like the adjoining 
Counties, responded nobly to the call to arms, and from the farm 
and the workshop the strong and brave went forth to battle for 
freedom and Union. The census reports that eight hundred and 
fifty -four enlisted in this County, one hundred and sixty-four of 
whom died in the service or from injuries received in the service. 
Considering the population, this record is one that does credit to 
the patriotism of the County. 

The County is divided into one hundred and thirty school dis- 
tricts, in which are one hundred and fourteen school houses, requir- 






GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 177 

ing one hundred and twenty-three teachers. There are sixteen 
joint districts, in which the school houses are in adjoining counties. 
The whole number of children of school age in the County at the 
last report was 6,139 ; the number attending school 4,740, and the 
average attendance 2,156. The amount expended for schools dur- 
ing the last year was $28,388.26.

CATHARINE, named from Catharine Montour, was 
formed from " Newtown," (now Elmira, Chemung County,) March 
15th, 1798. Catlin and Veteran (Chemung County,) were taken 
off in 1823. A part of Newfield, (Tompkins County,) was annexed 
June 4th, 1853, and a part was annexed to Cayuta, April 17th, 
1854. Montour was taken off in 1860. It lies in the south-east 
part of the County, and borders upon Tompkins on the east and 
Chemung on the south. Its surface is a hilly upland, broken by 
the deep valleys of the streams. Cayuta Lake lies in the north- 
east part, and its outlet, Cayuta Creek, flows south into the Susque- 
hanna. The soil is chiefly a gravelly loam, mixed with clay. 

Odessa, (p. v.) in the western part of the town, contains two 
churches, several mills and about 250 inhabitants. 

Catharine, (p. v.) situated in the south-west part of the town, 
contains two churches and about thirty houses. 

Alpine, (p. v.,) on the south-east border, is partly in this town. 

The first settlements of this town were made about the com- 
mencement of the present century, near Odessa and Catharines. 
The life of the early settlers was similar to that in other parts of 
the country. Through that energy which characterized the pioneers 
of the surrounding towns, the forests disappeared, and fertile fields 
and verdant meadows are now interspersed throughout the town. 
The productive resources of the town in some respects are without 
a rival. 

On the 22d day of July, 1855, Mr. Foster Ervay became the 
happy father' of four children at one birth, three girls and one boy. 



178 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



Their names are Ida A., Irvin A., Ada A. and Joy 0. The boy 
and one girl are still living. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,622, and its area 19,- 
016 acres. 

The number of children between the ages of five and twenty-one 
years is 599 ; the number attending school during the past year 
was 494, and the average attendance 327. * The amount expended 
for schools the same year was $2,480.15. 

CAYUTA was formed from Spencer, (Tioga County,) March 
20th, 1824. Parts of Catharine and Erin (Chemung County,) were 
annexed in 1854. The town was transferred from Tioga to Tomp- 
kins County, March 22d, 1822. It is the south-east corner town of 
the County. The surface is a hilly upland. Cayuta Creek flows 
south-east through the town, in a narrow, deep valley, bordered by 
steep hillsides from 300 to 600 feet high. The soil is a clayey and 
gravelly loam. 

Cayuta, (p. v.) situated on Cayuta Creek, is a small village a lit- 
tle north of the center of the town. 

Alpi?ie, (p. v.) situated on the north line of the town, contains 
several mills and 25 or 30 houses. 

The first settlement was made in the valley of the Cayuta, near 
West Cayuta, in 1801, by Captain Gabriel Ogden, Rev. David 
Janes and Joseph Thomas. The first two were from Tioga 
County, and the last from Athens, Pennsylvania. In 1803, Her- 
mon White, Benjamin Chambers and Jeremiah Taylor, settled in 
the san«e vicinity, and Moses Brown, LangstaffCompton and others 
in 1804. 

The first birth was that of Rosetta, daughter of Jonathan Thomas, 
in January, 1804; the first marriage was that of Ebenezer Edwards 
and Sarah Ogden, in 1804; and the first death that of Joseph 
Thomas, in July, 1802. Robert Lockerby taught the first school, 
in a house belonging to Elder Janes, in the winter of 1805. Cap- 
tain Gabriel Ogden kept the first inn, at West Cayuta, in 1805; 
Jesse White erected the first saw-mill, on the east branch of the 
Cayuta, in 1816, and John Ennis the first grist-mill, two miles be- 
low West Cayuta, in 1817. The first religious services were held 
by Rev. David Janes, (Bap.) at his own house, in 1802. 

The population in 1865 was 636, and its area 12,555 acres. 

The whole number of children of school age is 198; the number 
attending school 146, and the average attendance 67. The amount 
expended for school purposes in 1867 was $713.15. 

DIX 9 named from Hon. John A.Dix, was formed from Catlin, 
(Chemung County,) April 17th, 1835. It lies upon the west side 
of Qatharine's Creek, and extends from the head of Seneca Lake to 
the south bounds of the County. The surface is chiefly a rolling 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 179 

and hilly upland, and the summits of the hills are from 400 to 700 
feet above the lake. Catharine's Creek, and several smaller streams, 
drain the town. The soil is chiefly a fine quality of gravelly loam, 
and very productive. 

Watkins, (p. v.) named from Dr. Samuel Watkins, an early set- 
tler in the village, is situated upon the line of Reading, at the head 
of Seneca Lake. It was incorporated as "Jefferson," April 11th, 
1842, and its name was changed April 8th, 1852. It is a station 
on the railroad and on the canal. It is the County seat, and con- 
tains the County buildings, two banks, five churches, four hotels, 
two founderies, two planing mills, two malt houses, a brewery, 
several carriage shops and some over 2,000 inhabitants. Several 
steamboats ply between Watkins and Geneva. Steam tugs and 
sailing craft also ply its waters in all directions. 

Beaver Dams, (p. v.) in the south-west corner of the town, con- 
tains two churches, several manufactories and about thirty houses. 

Townsend, (p. v.) near the west line of the town, contains a 
church, several mills and about forty houses. 

Crawford Settlement (Moreland p. o.) lies near the south line, 
and contains two churches and about thirty houses.* 

Freer' ] s Glen is a remarkable ravine near the village of Watkins, 
that has recently been opened to the public, and is one of the most 
beautiful of the natural curiosities of the country. Though essen- 
tially different from Niagara and Mammoth Cave, it is in some, 
respects no less interesting and wonderful. The Glen was first 
opened to visitors in 1863, by the erection of bridges and stairways, 
rendering the first section accessible. Since that time improve- 
ments have been extended by the proprietors until the Glen is now 
open to visitors for about two miles. The Glen appears to be a 
cleft or seam in Glen Mountain, worn away by the stream which 
flows through it. The rocks are soft, and the changes that are pro- 
duced by the annual freshets are such as to render this theory prob- 
able. 

The entrance to the Glen is a vast amphitheater, semi-circular 
in form and inclosed by high walls of soft slaty rock. The ruins 
of an old mill, upon the stream that flows through the center of it, 
adds to the picturesqueness of the scene. A narrow cleft in the 
perpendicular wall of this amphitheater appears at the further end, 
upon the north side of which is a staircase, leading to the first of a 
succession of glens, each characterized by some peculiarity from 
which it receives its name. 

Glen Alpha is first entered on ascending this staircase. From 
an angle in the rocks a stream of water pours out, and falls in a 
beautiful cascade to a pool thirty feet below. This is crossed by a 
bridge, from the middle of which we get a very fine view up the 
Glen. The high and irregular walls on each side approach each 



180 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

other towards the summit, almost forming an arch, through which 
the stream, broken and scattered by the obstructions in its course, 
rushes to the cascade below. Crossing the bridge and ascending a 
flight of steps cut in the rock, and following up the stream, we 
reach the entrance Gorge, whose rock walls are rendered peculiarly 
beautiful by the various tints and colors which they exhibit. Here 
we find the Minnehaha ; not the one immortalized by Longfellow, 
but a diminutive namesake, dashing over the rocks in all directions, 
and forming one of the most beautiful features of this part of the 
Glen. The Labyrinth, a wild and romantic section, whose most 
interesting feature is the Gnome's Grotto, lies beyond. This Grotto 
is a path leading behind the Cavern Cascade, which rushes over the 
rocks above into the boiling pool, forty feet below. From this point 
a stairway, some fifty feet in height, leads up to the Glen Obscura. 
From the top of the stairs is seen a remarkable figure resembling 
the head and features of an Indian, and called the Profile Gorge. 
Passing on from this point we soon arrive at the Glen Mountain 
House, an unpretending structure, where the traveler may rest and 
procure refreshments. Leaving the Mountain House, we pass on 
to Glen Cathedral, which no pen can describe. It is in the form of 
a vast oblong amphitheater, nearly a quarter of a mile in length. 
The perpendicular walls on either side rise to a great height, and 
/are draped with rich foliage, pendant vines and mosses of great 
beauty. The floor is nearly level, and the veins upon the surface 
of the rock give it the appearance of having been laid in diamond- 
shaped blocks. For grandeur and sublimity this is unsurpassed by 
anything in the Glen. A cascade falls over the rocks at the upper 
end, forming the Orchestra, which continually pours forth a hymn 
of praise to the great Creator. This cascade pours its waters into 
the Pool of the Nymphs, a beautiful natural basin of great depth. 
The water is so clear that the smallest objects are clearly discern- 
able where the water is ten or fifteen feet deep. Passing a series 
of miniature rapids, we come to the foot of the Grand Staircase, 
which leads to the Glen of the Pools. As we ascend this we ob- 
tain a splendid view of the Cathedral. We seem suspended in 
mid-air, with the section which we have just passed spread out 
before us. The stair-case is in two sections, and seventy feet in 
height. The Glen of the Pools is a succession of subterranean 
grottoes and deep basins that have been washed out of the rocks 
by the action of the water for a long series of years. Above this 
we pass the Triple Cascade and the Rainbow Fall. Passing behind 
the latter, which is formed by a stream falling from the hill upon 
the south side of the Glen, we have a beautiful view of the sur- 
rounding objects through the thin veil of transparent water that 
intervenes. A rainbow formed in the spray adds greatly to its 
beauty during certain hours of the day. Passing on and up a 



GA ZETTEER OF TO WNS. 181 

short staircase we come to another Glen which contains the Shadoiu 
Gorge. The path through this is cut out of the rock, and the pass- 
age is difficult, though no serious accidents have ever occurred in 
the Glen. Passing on in our course, we take a view of Pluto Falls 
and the Spiral Gorge, and enter Glen Arcadia. Here the view is 
enchanting, and we would gladly linger and gaze upon the picture 
spread out before us, but we pass on to the Arcadian Falls, a beau- 
tiful cascade falling some twenty feet into a natural grotto. This 
is as far as the Glen has been made accessible to visitors. Thus 
we have taken the reader through the Glen, giving him but a faint 
idea of its beauties, and passing over many things quite as inter- 
esting as any we have attempted to describe. This point is two 
miles from the entrance, and 800 feet above the level of Seneca 
Lake. Days might be spent here in viewing the ever changing 
features of this mighty gorge, and yet be continually charmed by 
new beauties. Situated at the head of Seneca Lake, whose waters 
extend for forty miles to the north, it can hardly fail to become a 
place of great resort to the pleasure seekers of our country, as its 
charms become more widely known. 

The first settlements were made near the head of the lake and 
along the valley of Catharine's Creek, about the commencement of 
the present century. George Mills was among the first settlers in 
town ; he lived to a great age, upwards of 95, Judge John Dowe, 
David Culver and John and William Watkins, were also among 
the early settlers. The first settlers at the village of Townsend 
were Claudius Townsend, Consider B. Evens, Jonas Blower and 
Dods Benson, in 1823. Ebenezer Perry was the first settler at 
Beaver Dams. At this place two dams were built across Port 
Creek by beaver; one of the^ams still remains. A swamp, 
formed by the lower dam, is Mi alluvial deposit, 400 feet deep, 
from which lime is made. The first church edifice (Bap.) was erect- 
ed in 1833, at Townsend. 

The population in 1865 was 3,432,. and the area 22,196 acres. 

The number of children of school age in the town is 1,181 ; the 
number attending school 831, and the average attendance 327. 
The amount expended for school purposes in 1867 was $3,408.65. 

HECTOR was formed from Ovid, (Seneca County,) March 
30th, 1802. It is the south-west corner township of the Military 
Tract, and the north-east corner town of the County. The surface 
is a rolling upland ; its highest summits are from 500 to 700 feet 
above Seneca Lake. The bluffs bordering upon the lake are from 
100 to 300 feet high, and nearly perpendicular. It is drained by a 
large number of small streams, which flow into Seneca and Cayuga 
Lakes. Hector Falls, in the south-west part of the town, is a 
beautiful cascade upon a creek flowing down the bluff which bor-

ders the lake. The soil is a clay, sandy and gravelly loam, in some 
places underlaid by hard-pan. 

Perry City (p. v.) is situated upon the east line of the town, and 
contains about 150 inhabitants. 

Mecklenburgh (p. v.) is situated about two miles south-west of 
Perry City, and contains three churches, several mills and about 
400 inhabitants. 

Reyrwldsville (p. v.) lies near the center of the town and con- 
tains a church and about 150 inhabitants. 

Bermettsburgh, (p. v.) in the south part, contains a church, several 
mills and about thirty houses. 

Burdett (p. v.) is situated in the south-west part, and contains 
three churches, several manufactories and mills, and about 400 in- 
habitants. 

Peach Orchard, (Hector p. o.) in the north-west part, contains 
three churches and about forty houses. It received its name from 
the fact of there being a large peach orchard in that vicinity when 
the town was first settled. 

Polkville, in the north-west part, contains a church and about 
twenty houses. 

Searsburgh, (p. o.) in the north-east part, is a hamlet, containing 
two churches. 

North Hector, in the r.orth-west part, and Cayutaville, in the 
south-east part, are post offices. 

Stearnburgh is a hamlet in the north part. 

Settlement was commenced in 1791, in the north-west part of 
the town, on the bank of the lake, by John Livingston and William 
Wickham. Reuben Smith, and his sons Reuben, Jabez, Samuel, 
Harvey, Caleb and Chauncey W., from Canaan, Conn., settled on 
Military lots 20 and 21, in 1794^Richard Ely and Grover Smith 
settled a little north of "Peach Orchard," and Daniel Everts south 
of the same place, in 1795. These were all from Salisbury, Conn. 

According to the State Gazetteer, Polly Everts was the first 
child born in the town ; but Rev. Mr. Hotchkin, in his History, 
says " A daughter of Mr. Fawcett's was the first white child born 
in the town of Hector. She was carried on horseback, soon after 
her birth, into the region of Northumberland, in the State of Penn- 
sylvania, to receive the ordinance of baptism." A son of Captain 
Ely was the first white male child born in the town. The first 
marriage was that of Stephen Pratt and Betsey Livingston ; and 
the first death that of William Wickham. The first school was 
taught at Peach Orchard by John Livingston. William Wickham 
kept the first inn, near Peach Orchard, and John B. Seely the first 
store, at Hector Falls. The first grist-mill and carding machine 
were put in operation, at the same place, by Samuel B. Seeley. 
The first church (Presb.) was formed by Rev. Mr. Stewart, at 
Peach Orchard, in 1809. 



GAZETTEEB OF TOWNS. 183 



The census of 1865 gives the town a population of 5,048, and an 
area of 63,098 acres. 

The number of persons of school age in 1867 was 1,662; the 
number attending school 1,266, and the average attendance 631. 
The amount expended for school purposes in 1867 was $8,575.50. 

MONTOUR, was formed from Catharines, March 3d, 1860. 
It lies upon the south border of the County, a little east of the cen- 
ter. The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the deep valleys of 
the streams. Catharine's Creek flows along the west border, in a 
deep ravine from 300 to 700 feet below the summits of the hills. 
The soil is chiefly a gravelly loam, mixed with clay. 

Havana, (p. v.) incorporated May 13th, 1836, is situated on 
Catharine's Creek, about three miles from the head of Seneca Lake. 
It is a station on the canal, and also on the railroad, and contains 
three churches, two newspaper offices, two banks, the People's Col- 
lege, a hotel, two flouring mills, two founderies, one woolen factory, 
a plaster mill, extensive stone-ware works, a planing mill, a spoke 
and hub factory and several other establishments of less import- 
ance. The population is about 1,500. 

The People's College was incorporated April 13th, 1854, and was 
located at Havana, January 8th, 1857. The Institution is now 
under Masonic auspices, in connection with an Asylum for Masonic 
orphans. 

There are several natural curiosities in the vicinity of Havana 
worthy of more than a passing notice. Havana Falls is a beautiful 
cascade a short distance west of the village. It is upon a small 
stream that pours its waters into the Inlet of Seneca Lake. But 
the chief object of interest, and one that should be seen to be appre- 
ciated, is McClure's Glen, a beautiful ravine worn into the rocks 
by the action of the water which for ages has been pouring its tor- 
rents into the 'basin of Seneca Lake. Until recently, the beauty 
and sublimity of the Glen were hidden from all except some daring 
adventurer whose love of nature, unimproved by art, led him to 
penetrate its wild and rocky chasms, or the more quiet recesses, 
and listen to the sweet murmur of the " Whispering Falls." The 
Glen was first made accessible to the public in the summer of 1867, 
by the construction of walks and the erection of bridges and stair- 
ways through its rugged and winding way. Near the entrance to 
the Glen is a beautiful grove, affording a fine resort for pic-nic par- 
ties. Here the Free Masons held a grand pic-nic on the 18th of 
September, 1867, at which the number in attendance was variously 
estimated at from 5,000 to 10,000 persons. 

As we enter the Glen, the Portal Cascade first appears in view. 
Here the water of McClure's Creek makes its final plunge into the 
basin of Seneca Lake. Passing along the narrow path we will next 
take our stand upon Sylvan Bridge that spans the stream above the 



184 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

first falls, and gaze for a time upon the beauties of Glen Montour, 
as the first section is called. Pursuing our course, the Eagle Cliff 
Falls appear in view. These are the highest in the Glen, the un- 
broken fall of water being about fifty feet. The cliffs tower above 
the summit of the falls to the height of more than one hundred feet, 
rendering the scene peculiarly sublime and impressive. Ascending 
the oak stairway, the second subdivision of the Glen, The Pride of 
the Senecas, opens to our view. The stream appears to emerge 
from a spacious room in the form of an L. The main passage is 
sixty feet in length and about twenty-five in width, and the average 
height of the sides about thirty feet. From different stand-points 
in this section of the Glen we obtain views that are exceedingly 
beautiful and rarely equaled. We cannot stop to describe the 
beauties of the Curtain Cascade, or the wild and rugged scenery of 
Central Gorge, as viewed from the winding stairway. This Gorge 
varies in depth from fifty to one hundred feet. Leaving it and 
crossing the Cavern Bridge, located at the entrance of the Glen of 
the Caverns, we will pursue our way, taking a view of Hermit's 
Cave and the Whispering Falls as we pass along to Glen Chaos, 
where the rocks appear to have slid down into the ravine from its 
adjacent sides, and here lie imbedded in one chaotic mass. The 
Glen of the Echoes, and Echo Falls, will beguile us for a time ere 
we reach the Glen of the Pools. Here are numerous cavities, vary- 
ing in size and shape, some of them circular and very beautiful. 
Passing the Fairies' Cascade and the Summit Falls, we emerge to 
the highlands which overlook Seneca Lake. In taking the reader 
through the Glen, we have done little more than to give the names 
of some of the principal localities, all of which are suggestive, and 
must now leave him to visit the Glen, and see for himself the work 
of the Almighty's hand. 

The first settlement of the town was made at Havana, in 1788, 
by Silas Wolcott and a Mr. Wilson. George Mills, William Mc- 
Clure, Phineas Bowers, John King, and families by the name of 
Stevens, settled in the town, near Havana, in 1789-90. 

Anthony Broderick kept the first school, in a house owned by 
Phineas Bowers, in 1792-93. Silas Wolcott kept the first inn, soon 
after his settlement, and Isaac Baldwin and George Mills the first 
store, in 1805, at Havana. Phineas Bowers erected the first grist 
and saw-mills, at or near the village. 

Catharine Montour, in honor of whom this town was named, was 
a native of Canada, a half breed, her father having been one of the 
early French Governors ; probably Count Frontenac. During the 
wars between the Six Nations and the French and Hurons, Catha- 
rine was taken prisoner, carried to the Seneca country, adopted 
and reared as one of their own children. When arrived at a suit- 
able age, she married one of the distinguished chiefs of her tribe, 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 185 

who distinguished himself in the wars of the Six Nations against 
the Catawbas, then a powerful nation living to the south-west of 
Virginia. She had several children by this chieftain, who fell in 
battle about the year 1730. She is said to have been a handsome 
woman w T hen young, genteel, and of polite address, notwithstand- 
ing her Ir.dian associations. She was accustomed to accompany 
the chiefs of the Six Nations to Philadelphia and other places where 
treaties were made, and from her character and manners was greatly 
caressed by the American ladies. At Philadelphia she was invited 
into the best circles and entertained at the houses of the elite of the 
city. She was commonly called "Queen Catharine," and had her 
residence near the present village of Havana. From the English 
Colonial Government she received a small salary for many years, 
on account of her influence with the Indians. The famous "Paint- 
ed Post," at the confluence of the Tioga and Conhocton Riv- 
ers, is said to have been erected to the memory of the son of Queen 
Catharine. 

Mr. Mills, the first merchant of Havana, was also one of the first 
navigators of Seneca Lake. "Mills Landing" was the head of nav- 
igation, and from this point, in his Indian batteaux, he transported 
the products of the soil, and received in return goods brought from 
New York via Albany, Mohawk River, Wood Creek and Seneca 
River. As the population increased, he increased the tonnage of 
his vessels, and did a thriving business. 

The first sloop launched upon the lake was built under the pat- 
ronage of Col. Charles Williamson, in 1796, to ply between Geneva 
and Catharinetown. This event called forth the settlers from their 
cabins, and was regarded as an event of scarcely less importance 
than the launching of an ocean steamer in our seaports. It is said 
that natives of every State in the Union, and of every nation in 
Europe were present to witness the event. The first steamboat 
that navigated the lake was the Seneca Chief, and her first trip was 
made July 4th, 1828. In just twenty years from that day she was 
destroyed by fire. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 1,854, and its area 
11,323 acres. 

The number of persons of school age in 1867 was 622; the 
number attending school 512, and the average attendance 204. The 
amount expended for school purposes in 1867 was $3,958.64. 

OUA^NGE was formed from Wayne, (Steuben County,) Feb- 
ruary 12th, 1813, as "Jersey." Its name was changed February 
20th, 1836. A part of Hornby, (Steuben County,) was annexed 
April 11th, 1842, and a part of Bradford (Steuben County,) April 
17th, 1854. It is the south-west corner town in the County, and 
is bounded on the east by the pre-emption line. Its surface is a 



186 GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 

rolling aud hilly upland, broken by the deep and irregular valleys 
of the streams. Mead's Creek, flowing south-west, forms the prin- 
cipal drainage. The soil is chiefly a gravelly loam. 

Monterey, (Orange p. o.) situated on Mead's Creek, in the south 
part of the town, contains a grist-mill and about 300 inhabitants. 
Sugar Hill is a post office in the north-east part. 

The first settlements were made in 1799, by Abraham Rozen- 
back and Samuel Scomp, north-east of Monterey. Henry Switzer, 
from New Jersey, settled on Switzer Hill, in 1802, and D. Hewitt, 
from Rensselaer County, was the first settler at Monterey, in 1811. 
Abner and Thomas Hurd, and Brigham Young, the Mormon Pres- 
ident, were early settlers in the north-east part of the town. Wil- 
liam Wilkins, William DeWitt, Andrew Fort, Daniel Curtis, Jed- 
ediah Miller and a Mr. Chapman, settled on Mead's Creek in 1811. 
David Kimball, and his brother Moses, John Dyer, Sylvester 
Goodrich, and three men by the name of Hewitt, settled in the 
town a few years later. Joshua Chamberlain came into the town 
and purchased the land where the village of Monterey stands, of a 
man named DeWitt. The north-east part of the town, known as 
" Sugar Hill," did not receive its name from any considerable ele- 
vation in that place, but from the following circumstance : In this 
place w T as a fine grove of maples, and the early settlers in the adja- 
cent region, having in their hunting excursions discovered that there 
were no settlers upon the land, were accustomed to resort thither in 
the spring and manufacture a supply of sugar for the year ; hence 
the name "Sugar Hill." The settlement in this vicinity was com- 
menced about 1819 or 1820. Lewis Nichols, William Webb, 
Thomas Horton, Abraham and John Allen, Ebenezer Beach, Mr. 
Eveleth, Seymour Lockwood, and two families of Comptons, were 
among the first settlers. Dr. Hibbard and Abraham Lyboult came 
about the year 1821. After the commencement of the settlement 
the land was very soon taken up by actual settlers.* The fertility 
of the soil and the proximity to Seneca Lake, their prospective mar- 
ket, together with the easy manner of obtaining land from the office 
at Bath, contributed to the rapid settlement of the town. 

The first child born in the town was Elsie Switzer, and the first 
school was taught by Daniel McDougall, in 1819, near Monterey. 
Thomas Hurd kept the first inn, in 1816, at Monterey, and Walter 
Hurd the first store, south-west of the same place. The first 
church (M. E.) was formed by Rev. Peregrine Hallett, the first 
preacher. 

The population of the town in 1865 was 2,094, and its area 29,- 
863 acres. 

The number of persons of school age in the town in 1867, was 
700, the number attending school 544, and the average attendance 
247. The amount expended for school purposes the same year 
was 3,281.88.

a 



The annexed Engraving Represents the 

Cole Patent Wedge Tongue Trace Buckle," 

Which was Patented Oct. 10, 1865. It hasheen fully and practical- 
ly tested, and wherever introduced has met with the hearty approval of all parties using it. 

The following are a few of its advantages. 

1. It allows the trace to be drawn PERFECTLY STRAIGHT without any Cramping. 

2 - There is no draught on a tongue as in nearly every other trace buckle in use, which is 
liable to cut and break the trace ; but the strain comes directly on an iron wedge, and the hard- 
er the pull on the trace the firmer the wedge holds it. 

3. It, is more easily adjusted than any other buckle in use. Wo hammers, sticks, stones or 
levers being needed to assist in lengthening or shortening the trace. 

4. The saving in wear of traces, will, in a very short time, more than pay the slight dif- 
ference in cost between it and the ordinary buckle. 

5. Any thickness of trace can be used that is desired, as there are rivet holes cast in the 
under side of the buckle for the purpose of fastening in layers of leather which will vary the 
space under the wedge as may be required. 

We only ask a fair trial, being confident that it will prove the truth of the above statement.

THE SENECA BLACK CAP 



AND 



Davison's Thornless Raspberries. 

Waterloo, S, Y., 1868. 

The undersigned who is the one who first introduced the Seneca Raspberry to the pub- 
lic, will now be prepared to furnish No. One First Class Plants, of Senecas and Davi- 
son's Thornless, which are to be the leading Raspberries and should go together. 

The THORNLESS is early, ripens a trifle earlier than the Doolittle ; the SENECA 
ripens about two weeks later than THORNLESS, which makes the season complete in 
the berry line. 

All wishing good, first-class plants of these two valuable berries, can rely on me for 
them, as I will send out no poor plants. 

Send stamp and get my prices, when issued next fall. 

My soil enables me to grow plants equal to any grown in the country, and they are 
pronounced No. One, by reliable dealers. Yours Truly, 

WARREN WIGHT, 

Waterloo, Seneca Co., N. Y.

All the advantages of the most costly and complicated Cultivators are here combined 
in a simple yet durable and cheap machine. It can be arranged to any kind of work, 
that has ever been done by any Cultivator that has preceded it, and many kinds of work 
that none of these can be made to do. 

It is suited to the cultivation of Nurseries, Vineyards, Hops, Corn, Potatoes, Root- 
abagoes, or any crop sown or planted in rows or hills. Though recently invented, it 
has taken the premium over all others at 19 different Fairs, (one btate Fair). Great in-

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



Ingraham's Cultivators or 

Horse Hoes are perhaps the most 
wonderful and perfect machines of the 
kind, that have thus far been invented.— 
This machine can be arranged to run deep 
or shallow, wide or narrow, to make much 
hill or no hill, to throw the earth to or 
from the row. The teeth are of cast iron 
or steel, and reversible, giving double the 
amount of wear; can be adjusted to any 
desired angle, and yet the machine is 
so simple in its construction as to be 
manufactured by any ordinary mechanic, 
at an expense not to exceed twelve dol- 
lars. If you wish deep cultivation, this 
machine will do it. If shallow culti- 
vation is required, you may arrange it ac- 
cordingly. The simple turning of iwo nuts 
reverses the shares, or adjusts the machine 
to any desired width of row. You may 
have a wheel or thill cultivator, as desired. 
The drawing of a pin will change the angle 
of the tooth so as to give the hill any de- 
sired proportion. 

Farmers, this is the cultivator you have 
long sought. It can be arranged for any 
and all these different kinds of work. It 
can be put through all of these changes in 
a few minutes, no tool being necessary ex- 
cept a common wrench. Every common 
sense farmer will see at a glance, that in 
this simple machine provision is made for 
all kinds of work required of a cultivator. 
'I he Rural New Yorker declares it to be 
the most perfect machine of its kind.— 
Please notice particularly the card and en- 
graving on page 240. For machines and 
territory address H. Ingraham, Naples, 
N. Y. 

JDr. Kinggley, of Rome, justly cele 
brated for the many cures he has effected of 
that most distressing disease, Cancer, pub- 
lishes a notice on page 1. He is prepared 
to treat all scrofulous diseases, and others 
of long standing, and assures his patients 
that they will not be charged a heavy bill 
and dismissed without receiving any bene- 
fit. Persons who cannot conveniently call 
upon him in person, can address him by 
letter, and will receive prompt attention. 
Dr. K. is a graduate, with an experience of 
over fourteen years in the practice of medi- 
cine. Let the afflicted give him a call. 



Benjamin Westlake, manufactur- 
er or Brick of every description, Horse- 
heads, N. Y., publishes a card on colored 
leaf, opposite page 155. Mr. Westlake has 
one of the largest manufacturing estab- 
lishments in the State. He has five Brick 
Machines, each capable of producing 50,000 
bricks per day. His pit shed, kiln shed 
and drying yard, occupy about three acres. 
The main shaft whicb drives the machine- 
ry and connects with the engine is 320 feet 
long. Mr. W. is an active, energetic man, 
and will not suffer orders for brick to go 
unfilled. He has an inexhaustible bed of 
clay from which bricks of a superior quality 
are made. Bricks for cornices, and all 
kinds of ornan.ental work made to order. 
His location is such that he can send brick 
by railroad or canal to all points. Dealers 
and builders will be supplied in large or 
email quantities. 

Dr. T. K. Hardman, Practical 
Chemist and Pharmaceutist, Syracuse, N. 
Y., publishes a card on colored leaf, oppo- 
site page 154. Dr. H. has spent years of 
time and a large amount of money in his 
investigations, and the result is the dis- 
covery of a process by which medicines in 
a liquid form can be prepared and pre- 
served without the use of alcohol, that, bane 
of the human race. Thousands of drunkards 
are made every year by the various nos- 
trums under the name of bitters, the chief 
ingredient of which is alcohol. Dr. H'a 
preparations are purely scientific and are 
destined to work a mighty change in the 
field of their adoption. These medicines are 
highly spoken of wherever they have been 
used. The manufacture of these medicines 
is carried on under the firm of Hardman & 
Co., corner of James and Warren streets, 
Syracuse, N. Y. 

J. C. Lyon, dealer in Fruit and Orna- 
mental Trees, Roses, Flowers, &c, South- 
port, N. Y., publishes a card on page 158. 
Mr. Lyon's garden and nurseries are sup- 
plied with a great variety of the most de- 
sirable trees and flowers, for ornament or 
use. Special attention given to setting 
evergreen hedges for walks, of which he 
has a great variety. Give him a call.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



Gregg Iron Works, at Trumans- 
burgh, Tompkins County, owned by Gre«g, 
Plyer & Co., successors to James A. Clapp, 
of Farmer Village, who established the 
first manufactory of agricultural imple- 
ments in the southern part of Seneca Co 
about the year 1847. Gregg, Plyer & Co. 
removed to Trumansburgh in 1865. Dur- 
ing that year they erected a substantial and 
commodious brick building in which to 
conduct their rapidly increasing business. 
It is a two story building, 101 feet iong and 
90 feet wide. Located in the western part 
of the village, it attracts the notice of all 
coming into town from that section. At 
these works are manufactured the celebrat- 
ed Iron Mower, patented by Daniel H 
Thayer, of Ludlowville, in Tompkins Co. 
They are celebrated for their strength, sim- 
plicity and durability. They also manu- 
facture Sharp's Patent Wheel Horse Rake, 
besides Threshing Machines, Clover Ma- 
chines, and other agricultural implements. 
In the various departments the Company 
work up about 500 tons of cast and wrought 
iron, and 200 tons of coal annually. 

The works are admirably conducted.— 
Only experienced and competent work- 
men, (of whom, when in full operation, 
there are about 55.) are employed, and the 
farmer who purchases a machine of this 
firm may rely on the investment's being a 
good one. See card, page 257. 

Hayden Brothers, proprietors of 
the Retail Woolen Mills, at Port Byron 
have long been celebrated as being manu- 
facturers of desirable and reliable goods. 
The establishment was started in 1824 as a 
small custom mill. Since then the greatly 
increased business has called for extensive 
additions and improvements, which have 
been made ; and to day their cloth is known 
and worn in every county in the State and 
every State in the Union. They use only 
the best qualities of wool, entirely free 
from waste or shoddy, and employ only ex- 
perienced and careful workmen who strive 
to maintain the reputation their goods 
have ever borne eniong their retail cus- 
tomers. A few months since they opened 
a Btore at No. 29 Warren street, Syracuse, 
where they keep full lines of ail goods of 
their manufacture. Farmers and mechanics 
and the public of Chemung and Schuy- 
ler Counties, as well as the business 
men generally, can make good bargains by 
calling at the store, where Mr. J. W. Gates, 
the manager, will be pleaded to give them 
good goods at advantageous terms. See 
card, page 240. 

W. H. Pinch, House, Sign and Dec- 
orative Painter and Paper Hanger, Frank- 
lin street, Watkins, N. Y., publishes a card 
on page 240. Mr. Pinch is a practical painter, 
and those who patronize him may be assur- 
ed of having their work well done. Those 
who have seen his work need no recom- 
mendation from us. 



Mrs. C. C. Sheffield, Agent for the 
American Button Hole, Overeeamiug and 
Sewing Machine Company, Elmira, N. Y., 
publishes a card on colored page 255. The 
mechanism of this Machine far surpasses 
any other in use. It is so constructed that 
it will make either the lock stitch or the 
button hole stitch, really combining two 
machines in one. It is very simple in con- 
struction, and is not easily thrown out of 
repair. In short, it combines all the most 
desirable qualities of the best machines, 
besides adding to them some peculiar ex- 
cellences of its own. Persons wishing to 
purchase machines will do well to call on 
Mrs. S. and examine this machine before 
purchasing. Instructions given gratuitous- 
ly to all purchasers. 

Important Knowledge.— As mu- 
sic is now an indispensable necessity 
in every household, any reliable informa- 
tion is valuable as to the best place to buy 
musical instruments. We have been ac- 
quainted for years personally with the firm 
of Redington & Howe, and have known of 
their business facilities. We &/?,ok> that no 
House between New York and Chicago can 
compete with them successfully, as their 
facilities are unequaled. In addition to 
the immense capital at their control, they 
have special contracts with several leading 
first-class manufacturers, whereby they buy 
cheaper than any other dealers in the Uni- 
ted States anytvhere. Theirimmense trade 
requires only a small profit on each one of 
their many transactions to ensure them a 
handsome income. Their terms are most 
highly liberal. And another important 
consideration is that their treatment of 
their customers is perfectly honorable, a 
very important matter in the purchase of 
such a complicated affair as a musical in- 
strument. Their recommendation of in- 
struments can be depended on implicitly.— 
This we know from an extensive acquaint- 
ance among hundreds to whom they have 
sold instruments. We advise our readers 
to give them a call, or certainly to write to 
them before deciding on the purchase of a 
Piano Forte, Organ or Melodeon, or any 
musical merchandise. See the Addenda to 
this volume, which contains a portion of 
their catalogue. 

Howe's Never-Failing Ague 
Cure and Tonic Bitters, and 
Howe's Concentrated Syrup, are 

prepared under the personal supervision of 
Dr. C. B. Howe, the proprietor, at Seneca 
Falls, N Y., for ague and fever, and all 
periodic diseases, rheumatism, paralysis, 
etc. The "Ague Cure" has produced won- 
derful cures. The " Syrup," for the blood, 
liver, skin, digestive and uterine organs, 
has cured many cases of scrofula, cancer, 
tumors, goiter, salt rheum, scaldhead, and 
many other diseases too numerous to men- 
tion in this place. See card, page 20.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



The Schuyler Marble Works, 

Watkins, N. Y., are worthy of the atten- 
tion of the citizens of Schuyler and ad- 
joining counties. The proprietors, Messrs. 
Cogswell & Frost, have a large and well 
selected stock of marbles, both domestic 
and foreign, and will satisfy all who favor 
ihein with a call, that they have the facili- 
ties, and are determined to do an extensive 
business. Their Monuments, Head Stones, 
Mantles, Table Tops, &c, are fine speci- 
mens, both of material and workmanship. 
We advise all who wish for designs in 
marble or granite, however extensive or 
complicated, to call at their works and 
satisfy themselves that they can be ac- 
commodated with as great a variety, as 
good material, and as perfect workmanship 
as can be obtained in many works of 
greater pretensions, and at as reasonable 
rates. If gentlemen and ladies would go 
and examine their rich and splendid Slate 
and Marble Mantles they would be found 
in many houses that are now without them. 
Messrs. Cogswell & Frost are enterprising 
men, and are determined that the " Schuy- 
ler Marble Works" shall be second to no 
establishment of the kind in this part of 
the country. They have fairly earned a 
reputation for promptness in business and 
fair dealing, which they mean to sustain. 
When anything is wanted in the line of 
Foreign or Domestic Marbles, Freestone, 
Scotch, Quincy, Concord and Fitzwilliam 
Silver Granite, or Slate Roofing, give 
Messrs. Cogswell & Frost a call, and you 
will not regret it. See card, inside first 
cover. 

Elliott Meeker, dealer in Groceries, 
Provisions and Hardware, Millport, N. Y., 
keeps an excellent assortment of all goods 
in his line, which he will sell as low as can 
be bought in the county. He is prepared 
to welcome all his old customers, and as 
many new ones as see fit to call. Farmers 
will do well to call on Mr. Meeker with 
their produce, as he is prepared to pay the 
highest price for grain, potatoes, pork, &c. 
See card, colored page 205. 

George Sawyer, dealer in Jewelry, 
Watches, Chains, Silverware, &c, Wat- 
kins, N. Y., has a large assortment of fine 
Watches and Jewelry, which his friends 
'can have at low prices. Mr. Sawyer is 
agent for the American Watch Co., of Wal- 
tham, Mass., and has also a large assort- 
ment of foreign watches. To those whose 
eyes are dim, we would say, go to Saw- 
yer's and get a pair of those Spectacles, 
which will enable you to see as well as 
when you were young. For particulars 
see card, colored page 206. 

George S. Ganoung, Plain and Or- 
namental Painter, Mecklenburgh, N. Y., 
gives special attention to all work requir- 
ing skill and taste. Give him your patron- 
age and you will have your work done by 
a first-class artist. His card appears on 
page 222. 



Burke, Fitzsimons, Hone Sc 
Co., Importers, Jobbers and Retailers of 
Dry Goods, Fancy Goods and Woolens, No. 
53 Main street. Rochester, publish a card 
on page 256. This House was established 
in 1849, since which time its success has 
been uninterrupted, each year increasing its 
amount of business. Their annual sales 
amount to the enormous sum of near 
$1,500,000, their trade extending from the 
Eastern portions of the State to the " Far 
West." Occupying, as they do, fully 25,000 
feet of flooring in actual business depart- 
ments, every portion of which is crowded 
with immense piles of goods from foreign 
countries, as well as of domestic manufac- 
ture, renders the facilities of this house for 
Jobbing equal to any in the country. The 
firm are also proprietors of the "Genesee 
Falls Woolen Mills," where they manufac- 
ture 100,000 yards of goods annually. 

Dodge Ac Lord, manufacturers of Me- 
lodeons and Reed Organs, at Ithaca, N. Y., 
were formerly connected with Syracuse 
manufactories. They have since moved 
their business where lumber is cheap, and 
expenses less than in the larger cities, like 
New York, Boston, Albany or Syracuse. 
The styles of their organs are particularly 
their own, possessing all modern improve- 
ments, and some unknown to other manu- 
facturers. They have found market for 
their instruments in every county of the 
State, and in Northern Pennsylvania and 
New Jersey, and have an increasing trade 
with the West, in all of which places they 
are brought into successful competition 
with the first Eastern manufacturers. They 
are both practical men, and have secured 
workmen of long experience and tried abili- 
ties. Situated midway between the Erie 
and N. Y. C. railroads, they can ship con- 
veniently to all parts of the country. See 
card, page 230. 

J". C. Risdon, dealer in Plastic Slate 
and Slate Tile, No. 8 Baldwin St., Elmira, 
N. Y., publishes a card on colored page 
102. After experimenting upon various 
substances for several years, a substance 
has been found which answers all the 
requirements of a first-class 6late. The 
materials are simply slate-stone (finely pul- 
verized) and coal tar. Associated in 
geology, perhaps originally combined, an 
affinity is found to exist, and being brought 
into contact, a union is formed which no 
power can dissolve. It adapts itself to 
every shape and condition, is non-com- 
bustible and impervious. Neither water 
or steam can penetrate or dissolve it. It is 
undecaying and fire-proof, and will last as 
long as the structure that sustains it. The 
most intense heat or cold will not expand 
or contract it. Slate tile is known to every 
school boy and needs no recommendation. 

Williams & Pike, proprietors of 
Livery and Exchange Stable, corner of 
Madison and Montgomery streets, Watkins, 
N. Y.. keep some of the best teams to be 
found in this region, and furnish them at 
reasonable rates. See card, page 222.

PUBLISHER'S NOTICES. 



Whitaker Brothers, dealers in 
Groceries and Dry Goods, Horseheads, N. 
Y., publish a card on colored page 102. 
This is one of the most reliable firms in 
the village, and by their integrity, industry 
and gentlemanly deportment, have built up 
an extensive business. They keep con- 
stantly on hand a large and well selected 
assortment of all goods in their line, which 
they will sell at prices to suit the times. 

The Reynold's Steel Temper- 
ing Works, Reynolds, Barber & Co., 

Proprietors, at Auburn, are largely engaged 
in the manufacture of Reaper and Mower 
Knives, Plane Irons, Chisels, &c. The 
process by which they temper steel is a pe- 
culiar one, and, as patented by Mr. Rey- 
nolds, is the result of over forty years 
labor. This gentleman always worked on 
the plan that tempering steel was simply 
changing it from a fibrous to a granular 
state. He certa.nly has succeeded in pro- 
ducing a finer granulation (temper) than 
has ever before been produced. Messrs. 
Reynolds, Barber & Co. control the patents 
for these processes, and are applying them 
successfully in all their manufactures.— 
Their establishment is capable of turning 
out an immense amount of work, yet their 
orders are now, and have been for some 
months, accumulating far in advance of 
their present ability to supply ; a circum- 
stance which they will not lohg allow to be 
the case. We predict that the time is not 
far distant when all Mower and Reaper 
Factories and farmers will use their im- 
proved sections. See their advertisement 
on page 6, fronting the Introduction. 

I>aniel Holmes, HI, D., Physician 
and Surgeon, Elmira, N. Y., may be found 
at No. 41 Baldwin street, where he will 
treat all diseases on the most scientific 
principles. All the modern improvements 
in medicine and surgery are adopted by 
Dr. Holmes, who has had twenty years ex- 
perience, besides a good literary and medi- 
cal education, preparing him to render 
efficient aid in the line of his profession. 
Having made Cancer a speciality for many 
years, he is now treating it successfully 
and scientifically, there being no quackery 
about his practice. Particular attention 
given to surgery and the treatment of all 
diseases of a delicate and embarrassing 
nature. See card, page 158. 

C. W. Fay & Co., Merchant Tailors 
and dealers in Ready-made Clothing, pub- 
lish a card on page 200. Those who have 
visited this establishment, (and who has 
not?) were astonished at the large stock 
and the admirable selections of goods in 
this store ; and the multitude of boys and 
men who have purchased their clothing 
here, assert that this is the place to procure 
an outfit. Everything, from a suit of clothes 
to a paper collar, for men and boys, can 
here be procured at low prices. Remem- 
ber the place, corner of Water and Bald- 
win streets, Elmira, N. Y. 



Uichard S. Sheckels, Hair Dress- 
ing and Shaving Rooms, Elmira, N. Y., 
are fitted up in elegant style, for the exe- 
cution of all branches of the hair dressing 
business. Special attention given to cutting 
hair to suit the physiognomy. Ladies' and 
Gents 1 hair dyed a natural brown or black ; 
curling, shampooing, &c, performed in the 
most approved style. Let all grey beards 
and grizzly pates call at SheckeFs room, and 
their best friends will not recognize them 
on their exit. See card, colored page 120. 

A. W. Ayers, proprietor of Elmira 
Marble Works, on Water street, is offering 
great inducements to the inhabitants of 
Chemung and Schuyler counties. Every 
kind of work executed in marble in this 
part of the country can be obtained at his 
manufactory at Elmira, and at reasonable 
rates. Slabs, Grave Stones and Monu- 
ments, of Italian or American marble, of 
the most beautiful design and the most 
perfect finish, can be procured at short no- 
tice. He has also a choice assortment of 
Granite Monuments, from the Quincy and 
Concord quarries, shipped direct to his 
order. His Marble and Slate Mantles, (with 
grates ready for use,) are far superior to 
anything of the kind we have ever seen.— 
We advise all who are in search of nice 
mantles to examine these before purchas- 
ing elsewhere. For convenience, durabili- 
ty and elegance, they are unsurpassed by 
anything in this region. See card, page 
158. 

W. C, Dutcher, Grape Vine Propa- 
gator, at Naples, publishes a card on page 
196. Persons desiring choice vines will do 
well to examine his extensive stock and 
large variety, Mr. Dutcher also grows 
all the choice varieties of Grapes for mar- 
ket, whicii he puts up in first class style for 
winter, or for present use. Parties at a 
distance can be supplied at favorable rates 
with this most luscious of fruits. 

The Crystal Spring House, Bar- 
rington, Yates County N. Y., is a new and 
commodious Hotel, situated in a beautiful 
part of the country, and designed to ac- 
commodate those in search of health or 
pleasure. Dr. E. W. Rogers, a physician of 
twenty years experience, is employed, and 
gives his attention daily to the wants of the 
guests of the house. The water possesses 
rare medicinal qualities, and the place bids 
fair to become one of the most desirable 
summer resorts in the country. S. H. 
Wadsworth, the proprietor, is untiring in 
his endeavors to minister to the wants of 
his guests. See card, page 204. 

A. H. & E. P. Quigley, of Tru- 
mansburgh, Tompkins Co., deal in all kinds 
of Flagging. Their quarries on Cayuga 
Lake are extensive, and their trade extends 
to a great distance. Orders will receive 
prompt attention at their hands. We refer 
all parties who are anxious to secure the 
best quality of Flagging, to their card on 
page 242.

The Auburn File Worlcs, situa- 
ted on Market street, is one of the Institu- 
te jD6 of Auburn. Since it came under the 
management of the present proprietor, 
this establishment has gained a wide and 
en Lable reputation for the superior excel- 
lence of his hand-cut files and rasps, of 
which he turns out from 150 to 200 dozen 
per week. He employs from 20 to 25 of the 
best mechanics to be found. Among the 
van ies turned out are all kinds of flat, 
hand, mill, round, square, three-square, 
Biol in?, knife, pit saw and cabinet files

Such is the reputation of these Files that 
they are universally adopted throughout

are considered superior to all others. We 
advise all mill owners, machinists and me- 
chanics generally, who have not already 
become acquainted with their excellence,

From The Syracuse Daily Standard. 



The lainoili Musical Emporium of Mimtoii & Howe. 

For some time we have designed an account of this immense establishment, 
that our readers might be posted in regard to one of the leading business 
establishments of our city, and which has been brought so rapidly to magni- 
tude by the well directed" tact and indomitable energy of its proprietors. 

The store No. 2 Wieting Block, is one of the largest and most elegant on 
the main thoroughfare, and right in the very centre of the business part of 
the town. As we pass along the street, and more especially on entering the 
store, the eye is attracted by the elaborate and tastefully arranged exhibit 
in the show window of all the smaller class of musical instruments, &b ,, that 
make as an attractive a display as any window on South Salina Street. As 
we enter, glancing to the right, the eye quickly runs over a large array of 
Guitars, Violins, "and all varieties of musical instruments and wares, on 
shelves,' hanging up, and in cases. Upon the counter of this department is a 
Burdett Keed Organ, in a most elaborately carved case, worth $1,500. It is 
a beauty. Next, upon the same side, we come to a long counter, behind 
which the shelves are loaded with Sheet Music. Prof. T. H. Hinton super- 
Aises tqis department ; the best guarantee that the assortment is not only well 
selected but complete. The opposite side of the store is crowded with Stein- 
way and Dunham Pianos, the sides being lined with the unequaled Vox 
Humana Organs: with a large variety ot Piano and Melodeon covers, and 
stools added above. 

Passing by the center arch we come to rows and rows more of Pianos, Or 
t>-ans and^Melodeons, of all varieties and styles. On the right is the depart 
rnent for Music Books.— a branch to which this house gives the most prompt 
attention- Drawers the entire length of the store (111) feet) are devoced to 
the storage of Violin and Guitar strings, Accordeons, Harmonicas, Piano 
Polish, and multitude of the different wares to lie found in a complete music 
store, for the wholesale as well as retail trade. And still above, we find 
more Piano and Melodeon stools, cords of Violins, Guitars, Banjos. Drums, 
Ac, Ac. Goods are also stored in the basement— the whole size of the main 
store— finished and lighted for the purpose. 

In glancing through this great establishment one particularly notices the 
large'stock and variety of Piano Fortes, Organs and Melodeons, numbering 
more than fifty different kinds. The speciality of the proprietors is first-class 
instruments— on which the public can rely implicitly as being worthy in 
every way of confidence. This is an important, matter for purchasers. Many 
dealers do not hesitate to tell buyers that second grade instruments are first 
class. Sometimes small dealers are really ignorant of what is afirst class 
instrument. Others are themselves manufacturers of second quality instru- 
ments, and of course are bound to Gall their own as good as any made. 
Sometimes, also, they sell second and third rate goods as first grade for out- 
rageous profits, calculating on only a brief business career in each place 
they visit. We say then, be careful to buy first class goods, and at a house 
where they are sure to have such. 

Messrs. Redington & Howe, in a twelve years business history, have earned 
an unblemished reputation for giving perfect satisfaction to their customers. 
This they accomplish by knotting that everything sent out by them is exactly 
what it is represented to be. Besides, they are independent of any particu-

lar factory, and therefore the better fitted to judge between different makers. 
While R. & H. make a speciality of first class goods, they are enabled through 
their great advantages in buying, to sell second and third grade instruments at 
cheaper rates than any hoa«e in Central or Western New York. They buy 
at the large factories east, at a price actually less than the small makers can 
manufacture. The proof of the matter is in the trying. We say. c;o to Red- 
ington & Howe's and see what their facilities are. Their establishment is 
well worth a visit, oven if one does not wish to buy anything. All will be 
made welcome.

The Immense Musical Establishment of Redington & Howe.— The enter* 
prising wholesale Music Dealers of our city. Messrs. Redingtoc & Howe- 
have just closed a most successful business year. Their sales have been inr 
mense— something entirely unparalleled in the history of the Music trade in 
Central New York. They have deserved their increasing success. Their 
store is the most magnificent emporium between New York and Chicago. 
Their stock would supply a dozen ordinary city music stores. Theirs is the 
only strictly wholesale Music House in the State outside of New York City. 
They have even some advantages over the Metropolitan houses. Our Syra- 
cuse wholesale store keeps constantly on hand, the Pianos; Organs and Melo- 
of several different makers, (a total of eighteen, with over fifty different 
varieties.) while New York houses keep only one maker's instruments. Be- 
sides, business expenses are much less in Syracuse than in New York ; con- 
sequently Redington &> Howe are diverting much wholesale trade from New 
York, and building up for themselves a mammoth business in supplying 
dealers. The question is sometimes asked, whether other dealers cannot buy 
in New York, as cheaply as Redington & Howe. The dealers have thorough- 
ly satisfied themselves that they cannot, for there is not a house in Central 
New York that will agree to take the great quantities? of Musical Goods that 
Redington &Howebny. Consequently, others have to buy on a higher tariff. 
It is on the same principle that Stewart of New York forced a neighboring 
house to withdraw. He could sell at a profit, cheaper than his competitor 
could buy. Messrs. Redington & Howe, have similar purchasing facilities. 
Indeed, they can justly be called the " Stewarts " of the Music trade in Cen- 
tral New York, 

We are glad, also, to notice that Redington & Howe do a first class busi- 
ness in the Pianos, Organs and Melodeous they furnish. Their principal 
stock is composed of first grade instruments. These they advertise and rec 
ommend because they know their reliability. This house can furnish second 
class instruments cheaper than any other establishment in Central New York. 
( for the reason of buying cheaper.) so that if purchasers want a ImJB-price&l 
instrument, Redington ft Howe's is the place to procure it. We advise one 
reads eh not to buy any instrument without first seeing or writing to Reding 
ton & Howe. They will also tell honestly the quality of the goodjs. 

Another point : this house is financially responsible for all they recom- 
mend . besides having the largest capital in the Music business in Central 
New York, they are backed up by as much more as they choose to call upon. 

For everything in the musical line, go to Redington it Howe, No, 2 Wiet

6 Redington & Howe's Catalogue. 

From ilif Syracuse l);iily Journal 

Ihey have a musical emporium second to none west of New York city. 
In saying this we do but simple justice to Messrs. Redington & Howe, who 
occupy one of the largest stores in Central New York, fitted up who 
an especial view to the accommodation of their rapidly increasing business. 
The various departments of the musical business have each received proper 
attention, and each is conducted with a view to meet the demands and cater 
to the tastes of a most fastidious public. First and foremost, Messrs. Red- 
ington & Howe have in their Piano Department a full line of the various 
makes of Pianos, thus restricting purchasers to no particular make of Piano, 
but affording them unusual facilities for the comparing of the various instru- 
ments. They have in their Organ and Melodeon Department all of the most 
approved Instruments manufactured, and offer inducements superior to any 
establishment, to persons desirous of purchasing this kind of instruments. In 
this, as in the Piano trade, Messrs Redington & Howe have the exclusive 
State agency for the sale of certain makes of Pianos, Organs and Melodeons, 
and alf business connected with such instruments passes through their hands, 
thus giving them a chance to furnish at lower rates than any other establish- 
ment outside of the manufacturers. 

This statement is established beyond a doubt, from the fact that the manu- 
facturers of the best grades of instruments refuse to furnish smaller dealers 
with instruments as low as they do those dealers whom tbey designate as 
their wholesale agents. The fact is well known and conceded by all persons 
that any article can be manufactured at less cost where the manufacturers 
are turning out hundreds of such articles monthly than they can be made by 
manufacturers who make on a smaller scale. This would lead to the con- 
clusion that this line of goods can be sold by Messrs. R. & H. at the lowest 
possible figures. 

In the smaller instrument department their stock embraces the most com- 
plete and varied assortment ever opened in Central New York, with instru- 
ments from the various leading manufactories of this and other States. The 
sheet music department of this firm is one of the especial features of their 
trade, and to enable them to be first and foremost in the introduction of all 
new and popular sheet music, they have secured the services of our well 
known townsman, Professor T. H. Hinton, who superintends this depart- 
ment. His well known capability, is the surest guarantee of the manner in 
which this branch of their trade is conducted. Jn this department at all 
times may be found all the latest vocal and instrumental gems issued in New 
York, Philadelphia and Boston which will be received so as to enable Messrs 
Redington & Howe to offer them to the public simultaneous with their 
appearance in the Eastern cities. The department of general mnsical mer- 
chandise has been supplied with everything pertaining in any wise to music, 
and which assortment they keep fully supplied. 

The immense musical emporium of Messrs. R. & H. is open at all times to 
musicians and the public generally as a place where they can call at all 
hours of the day and examine for themselves the various features of a well 
conducted and stocked musical establishment. The acknowledged leader- 
ship in the musical business has secured for them the ticket-selling of all ope- 
ras, concerts and other first class entertainments given in our city. 

From the Daily Journal Oct., 24th,- 1868. 

Something New a.\o Beautiful. — Messrs Redington & Howe have just re- 
ceived a newly patented Burdett organ, with what we should call a Fairy 
Bell accompaniment. By means of a stop the effect of a beautiful music 
box or Mandoline is added. The organ is a perfect gem—worthy of a spec- 
ial visit to their store. 

This house is always foremost in introducing to the public in Central New 
York the various really valuable improvements that appear in musical

instruments. They are just as careful to reject the humbugs, and have act- 
ually declined the agency of several pianos and organs which less informed 
dealers here have since adopted and are trying to sell. 

The immense business acquaintance of Redington & Howe, together with 
their high reputation in New York, Boston and Chicago, as the strongest and 
most energetic house in New York State (outside of the city), secures to 
them the first choice in regard to the agency of any manufacturers of musical 
instruments in the United States. 

Their Mammoth trade enables them to buy cheaper than any other Cen- 
tral New York House, as they buy so much more largely. While their 
principal trade is in first class articles, they are able to furnish second or 
third grade instruments, cheaper than the first cost of manufacture in this 
city. They buy of large eastern factories, which, on account of operating 
on a larger basis, can manufacture much cheaper than small concerns. And 
R. k H. buy very closely, because buying so much. On this account they 
can and do sell cheaper — qualities of the goods being considered, than an V 
other house. For this reason parties in Albany, Troy, Utica, Rochester and 
Buffalo are sending to Redington & Howe for instruments. 

We advise our readers to call there — No. 2 Wieting block—by all mean?, 
before buying any musical instrumeLt or merchandise. 

('From The Northern Christian Advocate, Auburn.) 

" This is an old House, and has the best kind of a record for prompt busi- 
ness ability and for reliable and honorable dealing. They secure perfect 
satisfaction to all customers, whether wholesale or retail. Their facilities are 
the best of any establishment in Central or Western New York, and their 
prices correspondingly liberal. Pastors, Churches, Sabbath Schools and 
families will do well to correspond with or visit this House. Redington & 
Howe are known to us and we can recommend them as reliable dealers." 

(From The Auburn Daily Advertiser.; 
41 A prompt, honorable House, who have the best facilities in Western New 
York for the Music Business, and who secure satisfaction to all customers." 

(From The Oswego Daily Palladium.) 

<{ They are thorough, honorable business men, with a larger capital and 
better facilities than any House in the State, outside of New York City. They 
keep the best instruments manufactured, and are fully responsible for the 
warrant they give of perfect satisfaction. We are certain that our citizens 
■will do well to visit or correspond with this House." 

From the Syracuse Daily Journal, Nov., 14th, 1868. 
Mucn Music— We had no adequate idea of the magnitude of Redington & 
Howe's transactions in musical instruments until permitted the other day to 
gee their order book. We were surprised at the number of instruments 
making their way over the country. We noticed especially a single order 
recently sent, which surpasses the entire yearly business of many retail es- 
tablishments. The order was for one hundred and seven Burdett organs 
and melodeons, having an aggregate value of over $20,000. We now see 
why Redington & Howe pay the only wholesale dealer's license in the music 
line, assessed by '-Uncle Sam" in Central New York. They fell such large 
quantities because they can sell cheaper than any other dealers, (as low, if 
neccessary, as their competitors buy or manufacture their goods.) They are 
also well known to be entirely reliable and honorable in their transactions.

TO THE PUBLIC. 

The great combination of improvements attained in the Dunham 
Piano-Forte in regard to tone, touch, power, equality, durability and 
workmanship, has built for it a reputation which, to-day, stands un- 
rivalled in every section of the country, and has also elicited from the 
most eminent professors, critics, connoisseurs, and the most energetic 
of our competitors, the unanimous opinion that the Dunham Piano 
can not be excelled. 

Being confident that the production of a good article is the best 
and surest road to success, Ave have always aimed for perfection in our 
manufactures, regardless of cost. The patronage which such a course 
of business has gained for us, without the meretricious aid of Medals 
or Foreign Decorations, has proven satisfactory to us beyond our most 
sanguine expectations, and placed us in the highest position of the 
Piano-Forte fen t de. 



Redington A: Howe's Catalogue. 



While claiming as w«do, without tihc fear of contradiction, ior our 
house, the honor of firsi introducing to the American public this last 
great era of Piano-Forte improvement, which has given to American 
Pianos the highest honors, and whose perfections have astonished the 
world, we would state that the First Grand Square Piano made by us 
some fifteen years since, served as the model for the great improve- 
ment in American Piano Fortes. 

We also own the patent, now expired, for the cross or Over-Strings, 
which is now in general use — so popular has it become, anci so pecu- 
niarily satisfactory has it proved to ns, that we freely gave it to the 
world. 

The Agraffe arrangement we have used in Pianos for a period of 
thirty years. 



MERITS OF THE DUNHAM PIANO-FORTE. 

Its Durability^has become a proverb. 

Thousands of them can be found in use. which have required no 

repairs, other than tuning, during a period of thirty years. 

In Workmanship, It cannot be surpassed if equaled. 

The best materials and the most accomplished workmen, only are 
employed in its construction. 

In Power, Solidity, Purity, and Equality of Tone, it has no 
compeer. 

It is pronounced by the elite of the musical profession, and the 
dilettanti the most perfect Piano made. 

As a Safe Investment, it is the best. 

Dealers throughout the country, who have sold thousands of 
them during our business career, have never had one returned 
for being defective: nor have they, during a period of nearly 
twenty years, been called on to pay rive dollars lor repairs on the 
whole number sold. 

It can be sold after years of use, for nearly, if not quite, its 
original cost. 

We havo orders for any quantity of them, at an advance of 333^ 
per cent over any other make of half its age. 

It is warranted in the most^satisfactory manner. 

The commercial standing of our house is sufficient guarantee that 
any claim will meet with instant liquidation. 

The Juries of the Universal Exposition of Paris, admit that Amer- 
ican Pianos are the best, therefore Americans must be the best judges. 
Convinced that such is the fact, we have always striven to meet their 
critical requirements, and their approbation and patronage has been 
our reward: and we shall continue to manufacture such Instruments 
as will command the lllCiliKST POSITION I. If Til 12 ART.

THE DUNHAM PIANO-FORTE. 

la asking attention to the preceding circular of the manufacturers we add 
a few 

REASONS FOR BUYING A DUNHAM PIANO. 

This establishment is the oldest in the couutry and possessed of the most 
valuable experience, taking the lead in important improvements. (They 
were the inventors of the Overstrung Bass and own the Patent.) 

They have the largest capital of any establishment, without exception. 

Their workmanship is the most perfect and durable possible. 

Their scales are the most perfect. 

Note— We osk attention to the following criticism from Watson's Art 
Journal. 

" Their new square is one of the most beautiful instruments we ever beard. 
In depth, purity, and grandeur of tone, it can hardly be equaled ; its touch 
is exquisitely sensitive ; the registers are perfectly equalized ; it sings with 
u wonderful purity of vibration, and the quality of its sound is refined, lim- 
pid and melodious, and at the same time, great in sonority and briliance. 

It is truly a perfect Piano. 

The house of Dunham has also been among the intellectual leaders of Piano 
improver!;, and this new Piano is another step in advance, which will still 
further enhance its reputation." 

The Action of the Dunham is perfect. 

These Pianos have a peculiar timbre of tone, clear and melodeous, pre- 
ferred by the majority of musicians to that of any other Piano whatever. 

The price is more reasonable than that of any other first-class maker. 

Finally the house is of the most honorable character and ensure beyond the 
possibility of doubt the most perfect satisfaction, to every owner of one of the 
Dunham Pianos. 

A most important improvement has just been introduced by Messrs. Dunham 
<fc Sons' in the construction of the Upright or Boudoir Piano. 

The large size of the Full Scale Square Piano has always been an objection 
from the amount of standing room required for the instrument. The Upright 
form has always been preferred and is the popular style in Europe and among 
the older musical nations. 

While possessing a quality of tone so peculiarly its own and generally pre- 
ferred to the other grades of Pianos, an objection has always been raised to 
its general use on account of its complicated action. Messrs. Dunham <fc Sons 
have removed this great objection in the new 

Dunham Upright Grand. 

This Piano has all the merits of the compactness and beauty of form of the 
Upright pattern and employs at the same time the simple action of the Square 
Piano. 

The arrangement of the Scale in the Dunham Upright is diagonal instead of 
perpendicular, thereby giving an immense advantage in power and beauty of 
tone, as well as in the arrangement of the action. In full, round, rich power 

IT EQUALS A FULL SIZED CONCERT GRAND I 

with an indescribable sweetness that the Grand does not possess . 

Another most important feature is the wonderful cheapness in price as com- 
pared with the same qualtity and quantity of tone in any other form.

HINTS ON THE PRESERVATION OE THE PIANO. 

It is evident that if the Piano is to remain in good order for many years, 
good care must be taken of it. The instrument should be closed when not in 
use, in order to prevent the collection of dint, pins, etc., on the sound-board; 
however, it must not be closed for a period of several months or longer, but 
be opened occasionally, and the daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else 
the ivory may turn yellow. 

Any hard substance, no matter how small, dropped inside the Piano, will 
cans"- a rattling, jarring noise. 

It is in every case desirable that an india-rubber or cloth should protect 
the instrument from bruises and scratches, as well as dampness. 

The Piano should not be placed in a damp room, or left open in a draught 
of air — dampness is its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings and turn- 
ing pins to rust, the cloth used in the construction of the keys of action, to 
swell, whereby the mechanism will move sluggishly, or often stick altogether. 
This occurs chiefly in the summer season, and the best Pianos, made of the 
most thoroughly seasoned material, are necessarily the most affected by 
dampness, the absorption being more rapid. Extreme heat is scarcely less 
injurious. The Piano should not be placed very near to an open fire or a 
heated stove, nor over close to the hot air from furnaces now iu general use. 

Moths arc very destructive to the cloth and felt used iu the Piano, and may 
be kept out of it by placing a lump of camphor, wrapped iu soft paper, in 
the inside corner, care being taken to renew it from time to time. 

Many persons are unaware of the great importance of having their Pianos 
kept in order, and only tuned by a competent tuner. A new Piano should be 
tuned at least every three or four months, during the first year, and at long- 
er interval- afterward. 

How to Unpack a Via no. 

Take out the screws holding the lid of the box, remove the lid. take out 
the Piano legs and lyre, remove the board across the inside box. Place two 
benches or strong wide chairs, which should be covered with a quilt or other 
soft substance, alongside the box where the back of the Piano is, slide the 
Piano toward the end where the legs were — about six inches, have the Piano 
lifted out by four persons', one at each corner, and set it on the two benches 
or chairs on its back. 

Unscrew the cross-boards on each end of the bottom, and put the lyre and 
legs on, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, for their respective places. Have the 
four persons lift the Piano off the benches and set it down so that the four 
legs will touch the floor at the same time. Unlock the instrument (the key 
will be found tied to the lyre,) and wipe oft the dust lightly with a soft silk 
hand kei chief, or piece of buck-skin. 

Purchasing Musical Instruments. 

There is. probably, no article of household equipment, the construction of 
which the majority of purchasers know so little of a3 pianos. There are tew 
articles that are used so continuously, and for the length of time that pianos 
are, hence the importance of durability. The finest case may cover a fifth 
rate interior ; a fine tone piano when new may subsequently prove- to be 
made of cheap material that fails after a few years use. 

Cheap Pianos with which the country is flooded, are invariably the most ex- 
pensive in the end. i, e.. if we estimate loss of tone and constant annoyance 
by the instrument being out of repair, of auy account. It is wisest therefore, 
for purchasers to get their instruments of dealers, if they are to be found, 
who are known as practical men, both musically and mechanically, as well 
as honorable. — Ogdensburg Daily Journal.

THE ESTEY ORGANS. 

This Veteran House (established in 1846 > holds its rank at the head, and are 
now finishing every month hundreds of Organs'and Melodeons, which are a just 
credit to American skill and enterprise. 

The vast amount of patronage received, has been secured more by the actual 
merits of the instrument, than by extensive advertising and the pretentious pa- 
rade of their wares before the public. They have employed and retained, from 
the first, somo of the finest mechanics and inventors of the age, and have adopt - 
ted, and patented more valuable improvements, than anv other establishment in 
the land. As the result, their instruments stand unrivalled by anything found 
in this country or in Europe, as is admitted by all impartial judges. The most 
eminent Pipe-Organ builders and performers — the last to discover excellence in 
reed tones — pronounce them much superior to others. 

They possess the following improvements : 

THE PATENT HARMONIC ATTACHMENT is an octave coupler used on 
a single manual, and doubles the power of the instrument without increasing it.* 
&ize or number of reeds. Thus, by the use of this improvement, an Organ con- 
taining two sets of reeds is instantly made equivalent to one of four; ami a tri- 
reed equals an instrument of six 'sets of reeds, making the host powerful. 
instrument of its size yet known in this country. 

THE PATENT MANUAL SUB-BASS brings into use an independent set of 
large and powerful sub-bass reeds, which arc played with the ordinary keys and 
controlled by a stop. The manner in which this set of reeds is placed upon the 
air chamber increases the volume of tone at least one-third. This new and val- 
uable invention requires no extra room, and has all the effect of pedal bass, and 
can be used by any ordinary performer. 

THE PATENT KNEE-SWELL, whereby the player has complete control 
over the instrument, obtaining a perfect Crescendo or Dimixuexdo. more beau- 
tiful than the Automatic Swell, or any other ever before used. 

THE PATENT ORGAN BELLOWS greatly enhances the power and quality 
of the tone without increasing the size of'the case. 

THE PATENT PEED BOARD, whereby the tone is greatly improved, ren- 
dering it more like a Pipe Organ than is found in any other instrument. This 
important improvement is covered by two patents. 

THE PATENT VOX HUMANA TREMOLO. 

In attempting to describe the effect of this stop, we are at a loss for language ; 
its beauties cannot be written, but must be heard to be appreciated. By this 
Btop an ordinary performer can produce an effect which requires a lifetime of 
practice for an artist upon the Violin. 

k changes entirely the reed-tone, giving the sympathetic sweetness of the 
Hi max Voice, making it so melodious and pure that it never fails to enchant 
the appreciative listener. 

The Tremolo is produced by means of a revolving fax placed just back of 
the swell, which imparts to the tone a charming wave-like effect hitherto un- 
known in instrumental music. 

THE VOX JUBILANTE 

Is a new and beautiful stop, peculiar to the Estev Okgaxs. The character of 
the tone is marked and wonderfully effective, giving a style of music hitherto 
unattained in instruments of this class. This is accomplished by an extra set of 
reeds, ingeniously arranged, and adjusted to meet this special, and hitherto un- 
Bupplied want, ft is considered by competent judges a great success.

Popularity of the Dunham Piano. 

We are sometimes asked why the Dunham Piano Forte has not been more 
prominently before the public for the last eight years. We give the reason. 
At the commencement of the late war, the Dunham, senior, concluded to de- 
crease the very large manufacturing done by himself, so long as public at- 
tention should be so completely absorbed in the stirring events then tran- 
spiring, consequently he diminished his force employed and sent during the 
war the greater portion of his pianos to the Canadian Provinces, (Where the 
demand for the Dunham Pianos call for more than live hundred instru- 
ments every year). 

At the conclusion of the w*r, he associated with him two sons as partners, 
built a new factory, and the firm of John B. Drxu ui & Sons are now manu- 
facturing very largely. 

The high opinion of their pianos entertained by Piano Dealers is evinced 
by the great desire of the principal houses to secure the Dunham agency. 

Leiter Brother's Jewelry House. 

These gentlemen occupy a portion of the shelf and counter rouiii in our 
store with a very fine stock of well assorted Jewelry and Silver Ware. Their 
connections with a New York Importing House enable them to sell at whole- 
sale and retail cheaper than any House west of New Vork City.
